To increase the photoactivity of anodic titanium oxide nanotubes in the visible wavelength range, various attempts have been made to increase the absorption spectrum of the material. The heterojunction increases the efficiency of carrier separation and the absorption spectrum of TiO2in the visible wavelength range. AgxO has attractedconsiderable attention for the creation of heterojunctions between the TiO2layer due to its narrow band gap (1.2 eV), excellent photocatalytic activity and compatibility with TiO2. In this work, the heterostructures of TiO2NTs with deposited AgxO by theSILAR method were studied. The morphology and composition of the obtained samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Photoactivity of obtained samples was investigated under solar simulated light 1.5 AM 40 mW/cm2
