Fabrication of rutile TiO2 tapered nanotubes with rectangular cross-sections via anisotropic corrosion route.
We demonstrate here for the first time the fabrication of a novel morphology of rutile TiO(2) tapered nanotubes with rectangular cross-sections via a facile hydrothermal method using TiO(2) nanorod as the precursor. A plausible anisotropic corrosion mechanism for the formation of TiO(2) nanotubes is also proposed.
