Anodization of titanium film sputtered on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass was performed to obtain highly ordered 2 mm long and 60 nm wide TiO2 nanotubes. The titania films were annealed in ammonia atmosphere to enable the doping with N. The annealing did not affect the nanotubular morphology and the porosity remained open which is a very important requirement for further deposition of CdS quantum dots. The analysis done by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has shown that the N-doped nanotubes have a smaller interplanar distance as compared to the undoped ones, whose interplanar distance corresponded to anatase phase. This difference was attributed to the N doping and the Sn migration from the substrate, as demonstrated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS).
