1 Introduction
Nanostructural TiO2 has recently attracted much attention in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, solar cells, electrochromic device, sensors and so on [1-4] because of its large surface area and enough active sites. However, the nature of easy agglomeration and hard recovery restricts the applications of nanoparticles. Compared with the immobilized nano-TiO2, the hierarchical TiO2 microspheres composed of the tailored nano-units combine the high reactivity of nano-materials and the easy recovery of micro-powders, thus becoming the researching hotspot [5-8].
The TiO2 spheres are traditionally prepared from titanium halides or titanium alkoxides in the presence of hard/soft templates [5,9,10]. The used precursors are expensive, and the extra procedures including the preparation and the removal of templates complicate the TiO2 synthesizing process and also increase the cost. TiO2 spheres have also been fabricated using titanium halides [11-13] or Ti foils [14,15] as precursors without templates. An Ostwald ripening mechanism has been proposed for the spheres synthesized without templates [16,17].
Recently, three-dimensional (3D) flower-like TiO2 nanostructures composed of many thin nanoribbons were synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction between NaOH solution and the mixture of Ti powders, H2O2 and HNO3 [18,19]. In this work, a simple reaction system just including NaOH solution and Ti powders is first used to hydrothermally synthesize TiO2 nanoneedle/ nanoribbon microsphere powders. The morphologies of the as-prepared TiO2 microsphere powders are quite different from the one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures which always occur in the hydrothermal treatment of Ti foils and NaOH solution [20-22]. This study provides a new synthesis method of controllable TiO2 nanostructures by tuning the morphologies of raw materials and the hydrothermal conditions. The morphologies, structures, and photocatalytic properties of the microsphere are characterized. A possible mechanism is also proposed. Finally, the photocatalytic activities of the products are studied.
2 Experimental
The titanium powders (99.9% purity) with a diameter of 40-50 μm were ultrasonically cleaned in acetone and ethanol for 30 min respectively, and then dried in an oven before use. In order to synthesize nanoneedle spheres, 0.2 g Ti powders were put into a 100 mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave with 70 mL of 5 mol/L NaOH solution. The autoclave was heated to 210 ℃ for 48 h in the oven. After the hydrothermal treatment, the specimen was completely washed with 0.1 mol/L HCl solution and distilled water respectively for several times. Finally, the sample was dried in the oven, and sintered at 450 ℃ for 1 h. The process for preparing nanoribbon spheres was almost the same as that of nanoneedle spheres except that the concentration of NaOH solution was 7 mol/L and the hydrothermal temperature was 180 ℃.
The morphologies of the samples were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) (LEO-1530VP) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) (FEI Tecnai G2) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement was performed with a Bruker D8 diffractometer. The UV-visible light absorption spectra of the as-prepared specimens were detected using Cary 100 UV-visible spectrophotometer with a DAR-CA-30I integrating sphere.
TiO2 photocatalysts were irradiated under UV light to decompose the adsorbed pollutants. The aqueous system containing 50 mL of 20 mg/L methyl orange (MO) and 0.1 g as-synthesized TiO2 photocatalysts was magnetically stirring in dark for 1 h to reach the adsorption equilibrium of MO with the photocatalysts, and then exposed to UV light from a high pressure mercury lamp (250 W). The distance between the aqueous system and the light source was 15 cm. Commercial TiO2, Degussa P25, was adopted as the reference to assess the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 spheres under the same experimental conditions. The concentration of MO left in the aqueous system was measured at different time intervals by detecting the absorption at 463.5 nm on a UV-visible spectro- photometer (Cary 100).
3 Results and discussion
The Ti powders were treated in the NaOH solution with lower concentration (5 mol/L). The morphologies of the specimens are presented in Figs. 1(a) and (b). It can be seen that the products are nanoneedle spheres with a diameter of 40-50 μm, which is the same as the diameter of Ti powder. The diameter and length of the nanoneedle spheres are ~200 nm and ~20 μm respectively. As shown in Figs. 1(a) and (b), the nanoneedle spheres are composed of nanoneedles without any Ti powders left. Therefore, it can be deduced that Ti powders have completely reacted with NaOH under this hydrothermal condition. The FESEM images of the samples prepared in 7 mol/L NaOH solution at 180 ℃ for 48 h (Figs. 1(c) and (d)) show that the products are nanoribbon spheres with a diameter of 40-50 μm, also the same as Ti powders. The thickness and width of the nanoribbon are ~30 nm and ~200 nm respectively. As shown in Fig. 1, both the nanoneedle and nanoribbon are all radial alignment, which proves that the titanate crystals grow along the radial direction of the Ti particle. Based on the above observations, it can be concluded that the morphology and structure of the products are mainly influenced by hydrothermal temperature and solution concentration. The appropriate solution concentration and proper hydrothermal temperature can make the titanate crystals grow along the radial direction of the Ti particle.

Figure 2 shows the TEM results of segments of the nanoneedle sphere and nanoribbon sphere. The TEM image (Fig. 2(a)) demonstrates that the diameter and length of the nanoneedle are ~200 nm and ~20 μm respectively, which are in accordance with the results of FESEM images. The SAED image of the nanoneedles was not obtained because the electron beam can not penetrate the thicker nanoneedles. The SAED image of Fig. 2(b) shows that the nanoribbons are well crystalline. Based on the FESEM and TEM observations of the specimens, it can be proposed that there are no Ti powders left in the samples after the hydrothermal treatment. In fact, the XRD results corroborated this conclusion.

The powder XRD patterns of the two samples are shown in Fig. 3. Both of the synthesized powders display a good crystallinity. The XRD patterns of the samples match well with the anatase phase, which can be assigned to the (101), (004), (200), (105), (211), (204) planes of anatase TiO2 (JCPDS 21-1272). Meanwhile, no characterized peaks of pure Ti can be observed in Fig. 3. The XRD results indicate that the crystallographic phases of all the specimens sintered at 450 ℃ for 1 h belong to tetragonal anatase TiO2.

The effects of hydrothermal conditions on the morphologies of the film were further discussed. FESEM images of nanomaterials synthesized in a 3 mol/L NaOH solution at 180 ℃ for different reaction time are presented in Fig. 4. The lower concentration (3 mol/L) and appropriate temperature (180 ℃) are chosen so that the whole growth process can be observed. As shown in Figs. 4(a) and (b), smaller spheres with a diameter of less than 10 μm are formed on the surface of Ti particles when the reaction time is 12 h. These spheres connect together and are composed of nanowires and nanoplates. The diameter of the connected spheres formed on the surface of Ti particles remains to be about 10 μm when the reaction time is extended to 24 h (Figs. 4(c) and (d)), while the nanowires reduce and the spheres are mainly composed of nanoplates compared with Fig. 4(b). The nanowires disappear and the nanoplates break up into nanoribbons when the time further increases to 48 h (Figs. 4(e) and (f)). The diameter of the spheres becomes larger than 10 μm and the spheres are completely composed of nanoribbons. The narrower nanobelts come into being because of the shrinkage of the nanoribbons when the reaction time is 72 h, as shown in Figs. 4(g) and (h). It can be inferred from the results that 1D nano-units would form by prolonging the reaction time.
Figure 5 shows SEM images of nanomaterials synthesized in different NaOH concentrations at 210 ℃ for 48 h. As shown in Figs. 5(a) and (b), narrow nanobelt microspheres form in 3 mol/L NaOH solution. When 7 mol/L NaOH solution is used, the mixture of long nanowires and nanorods takes shape. The results show that the TiO2 morphology experiences nanobelt spheres, nanoneedle spheres and nanowires when the concentra- tion of NaOH solution changes from 3 and 5 to 7 mol/L.

From the above results, it can be concluded that the hydrothermal conditions have great influence on the morphology of the sample. Prolonging the reaction time, increasing NaOH concentration and raising the temperature (comparing the images of samples synthesized in 3 mol/L NaOH at 180 ℃ or 210 ℃ and 7 mol/L NaOH at 180 ℃ or 210 ℃), all favor the decrease of TiO2 nanostructural dimension from 2D nanoplates/ nanoribbons/nanobelts to 1D nanoneedles/nanorods/ nanowires.
According to the former reports [15,23], the dissolution-growth mechanism is proposed as the possible formation mechanism of the spheres. In the beginning, the Ti particles react with NaOH solution and many titanate nano-crystals are created and cover on the surface of Ti particles [22]. Then, these nano-crystals transform into a nucleus, from which the one dimensional nano-titanates begin to grow. The growth of nano-titanates in the cross direction is inhibited because of the competitive growth from too many nuclei simultaneously, whereas the growth in the direction perpendicular to the Ti particles substrate is free. As a result, one dimensional nano-titanates begin to grow along the radial direction of Ti particles through a dissolution-growth (recrystallization) process [22,24]. It is noticed that the morphologies and structures of the products are drastically affected by the hydrothermal temperature and solution concentration. Both low concentration NaOH solution and low temperature slow down the Ti oxidation rate, resulting in lower concentration of Ti precursor in the growth solution. In the other hand, high temperature and high concentration of NaOH solution both increase the Ti oxidation rate and thus raise the concentration of Ti precursor, leading to increasing the growth rate of titanate crystals in the cross direction. Then, high temperature with low solution concentration or low temperature with high solution concentration would guarantee the titanate crystals grow along the radial direction of the Ti particles, and structures would be varied ( nanoneedle spheres: 210 ℃, 5 mol/L; nanoribbon spheres: 180 ℃, 7 mol/L).
Figure 6 shows the UV-visible absorption spectra of the samples. The TiO2 nanoneedle spheres exhibit stronger adsorption than the TiO2 nanoribbon spheres in the UV-vis range of 300-700 nm. It has been reported that the TiO2 microspheres present superior light scattering ability, which can increase its light absorption [9,11,15]. In this work, though TiO2 nanoribbon spheres can scatter the incident light as a result of spherical structure, the nanoribbons (~30 nm) are so thin that the incident light can transmit the nanoribbon, thus weakening the light scattering ability of the TiO2 nanoribbon spheres.
The photocatalytic activities of the synthesized TiO2 nanostructures were tested with methyl orange (MO) as a model pollutant and Degussa P25 as the reference. Figure 7 shows the changes in the concentration of MO under UV illumination in the presence of different TiO2 nanostructures by recording the UV-visible spectra at 15 min interval. The photocatalytic activities of the tested samples increase in the following order: P25 < TiO2 nanoribbon spheres < TiO2 nanoneedle spheres. The unique nanostructure of the TiO2 nanoneedle spheres is also contributed to its highest photocatalytic ability among all samples. The enhancement of the effect derived from the special hierarchical structure of the TiO2 nanoneedle spheres includes three aspects. Firstly, one-dimensional nanoneedles can provide conventional channels for fast electron transfer, thus decreasing the photo-generated carriers’ recombination and increasing their utilization efficiencies. Secondly, the hierarchical TiO2 nanostructural microspheres still maintain the larger surface area of nano-materials which comes from the less agglomeration of microspheres, thus having the higher reactivity compared with P25 nanoparticles. Finally, the increased light-harvesting ability of the TiO2 nanoneedle spheres which derives from the light scattering is helpful for its photocatalytic activity. The light will be multiplely absorbed during the transporting process, leading to the improvement of the light harvesting abilities of the TiO2 nanoneedle spheres. Spontaneously, the more photons are absorbed, and the more photo-carriers are produced, resulting in the higher photocatalytic ability. TiO2 nanoribbon spheres can also provide direct transferring pathway for photo-generated electrons. Whereas, the light scattering ability of the TiO2 nanoribbon spheres is lower than that of TiO2 nanoneedle spheres. Therefore, the lower light harvesting ability induces the lower photocatalytic abilities. P25 is just a kind of TiO2 nanoparticles which cannot enhance the light harvesting [25] and the photo-generated carriers’ utilization efficiencies, so the photocatalytic ability of P25 is the lowest among all samples.

Fig. 7 Photocatalytic degradation efficiencies of MO in aqueous solution with three photocatalysts
The linear relationship of ln A0/A vs time (Fig. 8) shows the photocatalytic degradation of MO follows the pseudo-first-order kinetics:
where A0/A is the normalized MO concentration, t is the reaction time, and k is the apparent reaction rate in terms of s-1. The apparent photochemical degradation rate constants of the TiO2 nanoneedle spheres, TiO2 nanoribbon spheres and P25 are 9.38×10-4 s-1, 3.33×10-4 s-1, and 2.75×10-4 s-1, respectively. It is further confirmed that the synthesized TiO2 nanostructures possess advantages both in high photocatalytic efficiency and easy recycle, which will enlarge the application field of TiO2 in the environmental treatment.

4 Conclusions
1) The novel TiO2 nanoneedle spheres and TiO2 nanoribbon spheres were successfully prepared with Ti powders by hydrothermal method. The diameter of the TiO2 nanoneedle or nanoribbon spheres was between 40 and 50 μm, which is almost the same as that of Ti particles.
2) The TiO2 nanoneedle spheres and TiO2 nanoribbon spheres presented superior photocatalytic activities compared with the nano-particle TiO2 (P25). The decreased recombination rate of the photo-generated electron-hole pair, the larger surface area and the enhanced light-harvesting ability were the key impacting factors for the superior photocatalytic characteristics of TiO2 nanoneedle spheres and TiO2 nanoribbon spheres.
3) As the outstanding photocatalytic characteristics, the synthesized TiO2 nanostructures are promising candidate for environmental applications, possessing the advantages both in high photocatalytic efficiency and in easy recycle. Furthermore, the approach described here provides a low-cost method to largely synthesize the micro-size TiO2 consisting of nanostructural units.
