Abstract :
In this work, a template-wetting method is introduced for fabrication of TiO2 nanotubes. Nanoporous alumina was used as a template. Morphology and structure of the nanotubes were analyzed by FE-SEM, XRD, and TEM techniques. It is confirmed that the nanotubes had both rutile and anatase phases, which are suitable for charge separation and gas sensor applications.
