Increasing the surface area of materials is crucial for energy storage devices because a larger surface allows more ions to interact with the electrode, enabling greater energy storage. One effective method to achieve this is to introduce nanostructures through anodization. In this study, Ti–Mo based alloys were anodized to synthesize a Ti-based anodized material (anodic oxidation, AO), which was further modified by incorporating silver to produce Ag-based AO (Ag–AO–Ti15Mo). The structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of these materials were investigated to understand the effects of anodization and Ag incorporation. Anodization resulted in the formation of anatase TiO₂ and led to the development of a highly porous nanostructure. The electrodes were subsequently tested in an alkaline electrolyte to evaluate their electrochemical behavior. The transformation of the untreated alloy into AO Ti15Mo and Ag–AO–Ti15Mo resulted in a substantial enhancement in the electrochemical activity. Anodization significantly increased the areal capacitance of the Ti-based alloy, which was attributed to the formation of a nanostructured surface. This enhanced surface morphology facilitates improved ion and electron transfer, thereby increasing the charge storage capacity. The fabricated electrodes exhibit a potential window of 1.8 V. The reaction mechanisms between the electrodes and the electrolyte are predominantly governed by diffusion-controlled processes. This study highlights the potential of anodized Ti15Mo alloys as electrodes for energy-storage applications.
