SYNTHESIS OF NANOSTRUCTURED TiO_2 AND ITS APPLICATION TO LITHIUM AND SODIUM ION STORAGE

摘要

Titania nanorods and nanowires were synthesized via hydrothermal reaction of amorphous TiO_2 in alkaline NaOH, followed by ionic exchange in HCl aqueous solution and dehydration at 400 °C. Although the hydrothermal treatment produces three kinds of particle morphologies depending on the reaction time (nanosheets, nanorods, and nanowires), the products exhibit the same crystal structure.
