Double layer capacitance can estimate the relative surface area of photoanodes.
The R<sub>ctsub>Q<sub>dlsub> product is a measure of intrinsic photoelectrocatalytic activity.
TiO<sub>2sub> nanotubes show lower intrinsic photoactivity compared to TiO<sub>2sub> sol-gel.
Higher surface area of TiO<sub>2sub> nanotubes enhances photocurrent and degradation rates.
