Abstract
Porous single‐crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods were prepared though a solution aggregation‐based growth process followed by the calcination treatment. The products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis. The prepared nanorods were of the single‐crystalline nature and the mesoporosity characteristic. The prepared porous single‐crystalline TiO2 nanorods had high BET‐specific area, 70.3 m2/g. The formation mechanism of the porous single‐crystalline TiO2 nanorods was also investigated. The solution aggregation‐based growth of the nanoparticulates and the following calcination process may result in the formation of the porous single‐crystalline TiO2 nanorods.
