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.
