Hellos,

I'm carrying out anodization processes of titanium foil using a platinum counterelectrode in order to grow TiO2 nanotubes on the Ti foil. However, getting a Pt foil is very expensive and I'm thinking of finding a cheaper alternative. Right now I'm just sputtering ard 90nm of pt on a glass slide to use as the cathode.

I'm now looking into replacing a pt-sputtered glass slide with a graphite sheet. Will that be a good way?

Thanks!!
