Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodic oxidation method. Uniformly dispersed Ag nanoparticles were successfully loaded on surface of the TiO2 nanotube arrays through a chemical reduction AgNO3 method and MSM ultraviolet detector with Ag/TiO2/Ti structure was fabricated. TiO2-Ag nanotube arrays were characterized by SEM and EDS. The photoelectric performance was investigated by testing voltage-current and current-time curves under different light intensity and different bias. The results show that its photocurrent, responsivity and EQE are 46.9μA, 0.21A/W and 70.8% respectively under 1V bias voltage and 375nm ultraviolet with a light intensity of 1.04mW/cm2. The results indicate that Ag-loaded TiO2 nanotube arrays have good UV detection performance.
