摘要
Titanate nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment in concentrated NaOH solution followed by HCl washing. The as-prepared nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm measurements （BET）. The results displayed that the hydrothermal treatment temperature within 110-160℃ not only affected the structure of the nanotube, but also the anatase-to-rutile transformation temperature. The nanotube could be obtained only in an appropriate concentration of NaOH solution. The diameter of the nanotube was 6-10 nm. The surface area of the product initially increased with increasing treatment temperature, to reach a maximum of about 630 m^2/g at 130℃, and then decreased with a further increase in temperature.
