“…Among these nano—particles, wires, rings, combs, tetrapods of materials such as ZnO [ 4 - 8 ], WO 3 [ 9 - 12 ], and TiO 2 [ 13 - 21 ] are most desired for various semiconducting, electrochromic, and mechanical applications. TiO 2 has been reported a versatile material, required for sensors [ 22 ], optical devices [ 15 , 16 , 23 , 24 ], photocatalysis [ 25 ], photoelectrochemical [ 26 - 28 ], tribological [ 29 , 30 ], and bio-compatible surgical instruments [ 31 , 32 ]. Recently thermally evaporated TiO 2 nanowires have been examined and an efficient photoluminescence was registered in the blue region [ 13 ].…”
