摘 要:Well-aligned TiO2 nanorod arrays (TNAs) were prepared on pretreated quartz substrates via hydrothermal method.The effect of the different preparation conditions on the growth morphologies of TNAs was systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).The photocatalytic properties were tested by photodegradation of a methyl blue solution.It is demonstrated that the hydrothermal reaction conditions,such as precursor concentration,hydrothermal reaction temperature,and hydrothermal reaction times,can greatly affect the growth of TNAs.Controlling the preparation process,TNAs with 2 μm in length and 140-170 nm in diameter and well-aligned orientation have been successfully prepared.The photocatalytic experiment results indicate that TNAs have much better photocatalytic activity than TiO2 nanoparticles.
