Titanium dioxide-multiwalled carbon nanotube (denoted as TiO2–CNT) nanocomposites with a novel rice-grains nanostructure are synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent high temperature sintering. The rice grain-shaped TiO2 is single crystalline with a large surface area and the single crystallini...
