One-Pot Synthesis of Titanate Nanotubes Decorated with Anatase Nanoparticles Using a Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Reaction

Figure 1

(a) X-ray diffraction and (b) Raman spectra of titanate nanotubes decorated with anatase nanoparticles (TiNT@AnNP); the inset shows the zoom in of the spectra in the 230-1000 cm^-1 region to facilitate the visualization of the titanate-related bands. (c) Scanning electron micrograph and (d) scanning transmission electron micrograph of TiNT@AnNP; the existence of unreacted precursor anatase clusters is shown in the circle.
