Abstract

$TiO_2$ nanotubes (TNT) synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method by using $TiO_2-P25$ as a precursor at hydrothermal temperature $150^{\circ}C$ in 4 hours. The concentration of alkaline solution is between 4M and 10M. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and UV-vis DRS spectroscopy. The results demonstrated the effects of the alkali concentration to the formation of nanotubes. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by degradation of Methylene Blue (MB).
