Synthesis and Characterization of Single-Layer TiO₂ Nanotubes

Abstract:

In this paper, TiO₂ nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized through simple chemical hydrothermal treatment process when anatase TiO₂ nanopowder is chemically treated with 10 M NaOH and >99.5% ethanol at 180°C for 24 hr. According to the transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image analysis TNTs tubes were formed in the length sizes from 400 to 700 nm with inner diameter of 5 nm and outer diameter of 8 nm. The morphological and structural properties of synthesized TNTs was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS).
