“…have been regarded as some of the most important multi-functional materials because of their excellent functionalities and applications, such as electrochemical, photocatalytic, photo electrochemical, electronics, sensing, and so on [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Among various metal oxides, TiO 2 nanostructures possess a special place because of their excellent properties, such as a wide band gap, low toxicity, easy synthesis, good stability, etc., and efficient applications in lithium ion batteries, solar cells, chemo-sensors, photocatalysts, and so on [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. TiO 2 nanostructures including nanotubes [ 10 ], nanoflakes [ 11 ], nanorods [ 12 ], solid and hollow spheres [ 13 ], and urchin-like [ 14 ] hierarchical TiO 2 structures, have already been fabricated through a variety of solution techniques.…”
