An ultrafast and template-free method to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical layered titanate microspherulite (TMS) particles with high surface area is reported. The synthesis makes use of an electrochemical spark discharge spallation (ESDS) process, during which a fast anodic reaction on...
