Robust synthesis of bismuth titanate pyrochlore nanorods and their photocatalytic applications.
A facile and template-free reverse micelle-based method can be employed to synthesize highly crystalline and pure stoichiometric bismuth titanate (Bi(2)Ti(2)O(7)) pyrochlore nanorods 400-500 nm long and 40-50 nm in diameter which demonstrate promising photoactivity.
