•One-step anodization is used to prepare self-organized Ti(Nb,Sn) oxide nanotubes.•Tunable nanoscale geometries can be achieved by varying the anodization conditions.•The length and the diameter of the NTs tend to increase with the applied voltage.•Combining TiO2 with NbO2 and SnO2 might provide additional functionalities.
In the present communication one-step anodization is used to prepare large arrays of self-assembled Ti(Nb,Sn) oxide nanotubes on Ti–Nb–Sn alloy. Tuneable nanoscale geometries (unimodal vs. bimodal size distribution with variable length/diameter ratios) can be controllably achieved by varying the anodization conditions, which are highly desirable for enhanced functionalities in widespread applications.
