Nano-rods of titanium dioxide have been developed by electrophoretic deposition in polycarbonate templates with 180 nm diameter.
Characteristics of the produced nanostructures have been investigated in terms of microstructure, morphology, phase composition, thermal
behaviour and chemical bindings using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infra red. Scanning electron
microscope micrographs demonstrated that the TiO2 nano-rods have grown completely directional with thoroughly similar diameter. In
addition, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the developed nano-rods have yielded a mixture of anatine and rutile structures after
annealing at 530 ºC for 50 min.
