摘要
We demonstrate here for the first time the fabrication of a novel morphology of rutile TiO2 tapered nanotubes with rectangular cross-sections via a facile hydrothermal method using TiO2 nanorod as the precursor. A plausible anisotropic corrosion mechanism for the formation of TiO2 nanotubes is also proposed.
