摘要
Large-area free-standing arrays of TiO2 nanorods and nanotubes were selectively synthesized on transparent conducting indium tin oxide substrates using sol-gel electrophoresis and anodic alumina (AAO) thin film templates. The effect of sol-gel ageing on the growth of TiO2 was explained, providing a tailored ability to produce nanotubes and nanorods. An annular tungsten base electrode, stemming from the anodization of the AAO template, was found to be crucial to the growth of nanotubes. This was supported by a study of substrate annealing in a reducing atmosphere. The work can be readily adapted for the fabrication of free-standing arrays of other metal, metal oxide, and complex oxide nanorod and nanotube arrays on conducting substrates.
