Slim titanate naotubes was prepared from industrial coarse TiO2 powder by simple sonochemical-hydrothermal processing. The influences of ultrasonic irradiation on TiO2 precursors were investigated. The morphology and crystal structure of the products were characterized by TEM and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The typical products are long nanotubes around 8-10nm in out diameter. Both anatase and rutile TiO2 precursors can be transferred into titanate nanotubes in this sonochemical & hydrothermal processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
