For the first time, a facile calcination method derived from the resorcinol and formaldehyde reaction was used to prepare monodisperse, carbon doped single crystal TiO2 nanorod spheres instead of the conventional hydrothermal method. The spheres are made of single crystal TiO2 nanorods with a large...
