Anodic TiO2 nanotubes fabricated by anodization have a wide range of applications in a variety of fields because of their unique structure and excellent performance. Also, the formation mechanisms of anodic TiO2 nanotubes have gradually become a hotspot of research in the field of the porous anodic oxides. A series of papers about formation mechanisms of anodic TiO2 nanotubes have been published in many famous journals in recent years. The present article has reviewed the latest progress and significance of the research on formation mechanisms of anodic TiO2 nanotubes in the contrast of two kinds of anodic oxide films. Here, we firstly introduce the anodizing process of Ti, and then analyze the difference and connections of two kinds of anodic oxide films,that are compact anodic oxide film and porous anodic oxide film. Then we introduce the growth process of TiO2 nanotubes, focusing on different kinds of formation mechanisms of TiO2 nanotubes. The results show that there are a lot of limitations for the traditional field-assisted dissolution theory in explaining the growth process and the porous structure of TiO2 nanotubes, but the combination of viscous flow model and growth model of two currents can give a comprehensive explanation to the growth process of TiO2 nanotubes. However, the validity of oxygen evolution resulting from electronic current has yet to be further investigation.
