摘要

TiO2-based structure is fabricated on both sides of transparent quartz substrate via a liquid phase deposition method, with the assistance of ZnO nanorod template. The morphology, crystal structure, and photocatalytic property of the double-sided TiO2 nanotube arrays have been studied and the formation mechanism has been discussed. Importantly, compared to single-sided structure, the double-sided TiO2 nanotube arrays show remarkable enhancement of photocatalytic activity in degradation of Rhodamine B.
