This paper summarizes researches progress on TiO2 nanotubes in recent years. The preparation methods of the TiO2 nanotubes and the underlying formation mechanisms are introduced, and key factors affecting the formation of anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays are discussed in detail. Different doping methods and their effects on the TiO2 nanotubes with various elements are summarized, and the N-doped TiO2 nanotubes are explained in depth. In addition to doping, another way to improve activity of the TiO2 nanotubes is the surface modification of the TiO2 nanotubes with quantum dots and organic dyes, which is also described in this paper. The future research and application prospects in this field are predicted.
