A facile electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process has been developed to prepare thin films consisting of titanate nanotubes (TNTs) that were synthesized by a hydrothermal approach. Such an EPD process offers easy control in the film thickness and the adhesion to the substrate was found to be strong....
