1D TiO2 nanostructures prepared from seeds presenting tailored tio2 crystalline phases and their photocatalytic activity for Escherichia coli in water

TiO2 nanotubes were synthesized by alkaline hydrothermal treatment of TiO2 nanoparticles with a controlled proportion of anatase and rutile. Tailoring of TiO2 phases was achieved by adjusting the pH and type of acid used in the hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide (first step in the sol-gel synthesis...
