One-Dimensional TiO2-B Crystals Synthesised by Hydrothermal Process and Their Antibacterial Behaviour on Escherichia coli
Figure 1
Morphology of one-dimensional TiO2 nanostructures synthesised by hydrothermal process at 130°C in a 10 M NaOH solution for 6–8 days of reaction: (a) Starting material, anatase phase nanoparticles. Platelet-like shapes (b) at low magnification and (c) at high resolution after 8 days of hydrothermal synthesis, images collected at 5.0 kV. (d) Histograms of frequency distribution data of length and thickness of the nanostructures. (e) Low-resolution amplitude atomic force microscopy (AFM) scan image of one-dimensional TiO2 wire-like shape and high-resolution topography (f) scanned after 6 days of hydrothermal process synthesis.
