The aim of this study was to obtain the second generation TiO₂ nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. Anodic oxidation of the alloy under study was carried out in 1 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ electrolyte under voltage-time conditions of 20 V for 120 min. The morphological parameters of the obtained nanotubes of second generation such as the length (L), internal (D_{i}) and outer (D_{o}) diameter of nanotube were determined. It was found that the anodic oxidation of the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy conducted under proposed conditions allowed to obtain the single-walled nanotubes of the following geometrical parameters: the internal diameter 61 nm, outer diameter 103 nm, and the length 3.9 μm. The total surface area of the single-walled nanotubes was equal to 4.1 μm², and the specific surface area per cm² (A_{s}) was estimated to be 15.6 cm²/cm². Formation mechanism, structure and optimal morphological parameters of the obtained single-walled nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy have been discussed in detail.
