Abstract :
In this study, the TiO2 nanorods were synthesized from P25
TiO2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method in 10 M NaOH
solution. The effects of annealing temperatures on produced
nanorods were investigated by scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and
photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Diameter growth
and changes of surface oxygen defects of synthesized
nanorods are studied with increasing annealing
temperatures.
