Abstract:

TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) was prepared by hydrothermal method using commercial P25 power as a precursor in alkali solution and was characterized by TEM, XRD and BET. The photocatalytic activity of TNTs was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue (MB). The as-prepared TNTs hydrothermal treated at 150 °C displayed higher photodegradation activity. These results provide further insight into the effect of hydrothermal temperature, and TNTs are expected to be promising for applications in photocatalysis.
