Fabrication and Growth Mechanism of Single-crystalline Rutile TiO2 Nanowires by Liquid-phase Deposition Process in a Porous Alumina Template

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2014.12.010

Abstract

Abstract: TiO₂ nanowire arrays were successfully fabricated by liquid-phase deposition method using porous alumina templates. The obtained TiO₂nanowires were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis. Results of electron microscopic observations indicated that the nanowires were smooth and uniform with a diameter of about 50-80 nm and several micrometers in length. SAED, Raman, and XRD measurements showed that TiO₂ nanowires were single-crystalline with a pure rutile structure after heating at 800 °C for 10 h. In this situation, the nanowire constituents grew preferentially along the <001> direction. Furthermore, the formation process and mechanistic study of the TiO₂ nanowire arrays were proposed and discussed in detail. The nanowires are clearly produced by the deposition of TiO₂ particles on the inner wall of the template nanochannels.

Key words: TiO2 nanowire arrays, Single crystal, Rutile phase, Liquid-phase deposition process
