Ir was subsequently been deposited on them by the galvanic replacement of electrodeposited Ni by Ir(IV) chloro-complexes; this was followed by Ir electrochemical anodization to IrO2. By carrying out the preparation of the TNTs in either two or one anodization steps, we were able to produce close-packed or open-structure nanotubes, respectively. In the former case, larger than 100 nm Ir aggregates were finally formed on the top face of the nanotubes (leading to partial or full surface coverage); in the latter case, Ir nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm were obtained, with some of them located inside the pores of the nanotubes, which retained a porous surface structure. The electrocatalytic activity of IrO2 supported on open-structure bTNTs towards OER is superior to that supported on close-packed bTNTs and TNTs, and its performance is comparable or better than that of similar electrodes reported in the literature (overpotential of \u03b7 = 240 mV at 10 mA cm\u22122; current density of 70 mA cm\u22122 and mass specific current density of 258 mA mgIr\u22121 at \u03b7 = 300 mV). Furthermore, these electrodes demonstrated good medium-term stability, maintaining stable performance for 72 h at 10 mA cm\u22122 in acid.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30142921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,11]],"date-time":"2025-07-11T08:15:47Z","timestamp":1752221747000},"page":"2921","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["IrO2-Decorated Titania Nanotubes as Oxygen Evolution Anodes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2137-0943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aikaterini","family":"Touni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7700-0955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Effrosyni","family":"Mitrousi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5447-0409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SINTEF Industry, Forskningsveien 1, NO-0373 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2245-6143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Nikopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Pavlidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5743-7236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitra A.","family":"Lambropoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6119-0755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sotiris","family":"Sotiropoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03222350","article-title":"The History of Progress in Dimensionally Stable Anodes","volume":"45","author":"Duby","year":"1993","journal-title":"JOM"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1007\/s100080050050","article-title":"On the Use of Platinized and Activated Titanium Anodes in Some Electrodeposition Processes","volume":"1","author":"Dekanski","year":"1997","journal-title":"J.
