ELONGATED TITANATE NANOTUBE, ITS SYNTHESIS METHOD, AND ITS USE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of forming high aspect ratio titanate nanotubes. In particular, the formation of elongated nanotubes having lengths more than 10 μm involves a modified hydrothermal method. The method allows formation of an entangled network of the elongated nanotubes for use as free-standing membranes or powder form for use in various applications such as water treatment. The elongated nanotubes may also be used for forming electrodes for batteries.
