Anodic Oxidation Synthesis of One-Dimensional TiO_2 Nanostructures for Photocatalytic and Field Emission Properties

摘要

One-dimensional (1D) TiO_2 microanostructures have received more and more attentions because of their potential applications in environmental issues. This paper reviews the most recent activities in TiO_2 nanostructures with an emphasis on the authors' own results especially on those synthesized using anodic oxidation method. The review begins with a survey of the effects of fabrication methods and the experiment conditions on the obtained TiO_2 nanostructures, and then focuses on their 1D nanostructures, including the syntheses, characterizations, formation mechanisms, photocatalytic, and field emission properties. Finally, we conclude this review with the perspectives and outlooks on the future developments in this field.
