Hydrothermal synthesis of agglomerating TiO_2 nanoflowers and its gas sensing

摘要

Nanomaterials with three dimensional architectures frequently exhibit novel functional properties. In current work, a novel rutile TiO_2 3D nanoflowers with the powder partly agglomerating have been successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route in the saturated sodium chloride solution. In addition, the effect of the solvent in hydro-thermal process was preliminarily discussed on the basis of comparative experiments. Such an unexpected morphology provides a non-trivial behavior driven by the properties of partly agglomerating TiO_2 nanoflowers in gas sensing.
