Titanates are salts of polytitanic acid that can be synthesized as nanostructures in a great variety concerning crystallinity, morphology, size, metal content and surface chemistry.Titanate nanotubes (open-ended hollow cylinders measuring up to 200 nm in length and 15 nm in outer diameter) and nanowires (solid, elongated rectangular blocks with length up to 1500 nm and 30-60 nm diameter) are the most widespread representatives of the titanate nanomaterial family. This review covers the properties and applications of these two materials from the surface science point of view. Dielectric, vibrational, electron and X-ray spectroscopic results are comprehensively discussed first, then surface modification methods including covalent functionalization, ion exchange and metal loading are covered. The versatile surface chemistry of onedimensional titanates renders them excellent candidates for heterogeneous catalytic, photocatalytic, photovoltaic and energy storage applications, therefore, these fields are also reviewed.

“…Among various types of photocatalysts, titanium dioxide-(TiO 2 -) assisted photocatalytic oxidation has received much attention in the last few years due to its nontoxicity, strong oxidizing power, and long-term photostability [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These remarkable advantages originate from the unique physical and chemical properties of TiO 2 which depend not only on the crystal phase and particle size but also on the particle morphology.…”

Highly photocatalytically active anatase TiO 2 were synthesized by a solvothermal method using tetrabutyl titanate (TBT), citric acid, and ethanol as row material. The morphology and photocatalytic activity of titanium oxide have changed significantly with the presence of surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), and diethanolamine (DEA). Scanning electron microscope and X-ray powder diffraction results show that the synthesized products are anatase TiO 2 spherical particles with a micronanostructure. The crystal type of TiO 2 has no obvious change with the addition of different surfactants, but the morphology, size, and dispersion of the TiO 2 particles have changed to some extent. Among the three surfactants, CTAB is beneficial to reduce TiO 2 particle size and improve TiO 2 dispersion and agglomeration. DEA is favor to self-assembly the nanocrystals into spherical particles. Degradation of methyl orange photocatalyzed by TiO 2 prepared with CTAB as surfactant reaches 95.4% under ultraviolet light for 100 min. After five recycles, the catalyst did not exhibit significant loss of photocatalytic activity, confirming that the photocatalyst is essentially stable. This work indicates that the surfactant-assisted solvothermal method is an effective approach to improve the structure, morphology, and photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 . Moreover, the surfactants with various types can interact with the precursors of TiO 2 in different ways.

The electrochemical anodization process is carried out usually in electrolytes containing some fluoride ions to fabricate TNT layers.…”
