TiO2 rutile-anatase core-shell nanorod and nanotube arrays for photocatalytic applications

Nanostructured TiO2 materials are believed to be the future material that can ease the energy shortage by its capability in solar power utilization. In recent years, TiO2 nanostructures including nanotubes (NT), nanorods (NR), and nanowires were prepared by different methods for various applications...

Description
Summary:Nanostructured TiO2 materials are believed to be the future material that can ease the energy shortage by its capability in solar power utilization. In recent years, TiO2 nanostructures including nanotubes (NT), nanorods (NR), and nanowires were prepared by different methods for various applications. In this study, we report the hydrothermal etching method to grow TiO2 nanotubes on FTO glass. TiO2 rutile-anatase nanotube core-shell structure was prepared and showed superior photocatalytic property. [2nd Award]
