Fabrication of TiO2 nanowire arrays using laser interference lithography aided hydrothermal method

Titanium dioxide (TÍO
₂
) is one of the most widely investigated semiconductor materials because of its unique properties. TiO
₂
nanowire arrays can be synthesized through a two-step method, the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates were ablated using laser interference lithography technology, and TiO
₂
nanowire arrays grown on the patterned FTO substrates. The TiO
₂
nanowire arrays were characterized by SEM and XRD measurements. This work provides a high efficient method for the fabrication of ordered TiO
₂
nanowire arrays for different applications in highly functionalized assemblies and composites.
