In this work, TiO2 nanotubules of the anatase form have been synthesized by sol-gel chemical method using porous anodic alumina as the template. Transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, infrared spectroscopy（IR） and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the structure and morphology of the TiO2 nanotubules. The results showed that the diameter and length of the obtained nanotubules were determined by the pore size and length of the PAA template. It was founded that through control of immersion time, both tubules and fibrils can be prepared; in addition, the wall thickness of the nanotubules can be varied at will. The result indicated that the sol particles absorbed preferably to the pore walls of the PAA membrane due to the fact that the pore walls were negatively charged and the TiO2 particles were positively charged.展开更多
