The TiO2 nanofibres with the diameter of φ20-30nm and the length of micron-dimension were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Their crystalline structure, morphology and chemical composition were characterized by the transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), infrared spectrum (IR), etc. The forming mechanism of the TiO2
nanofibres and the effects of pH value in the process of washing on the nanofibres structure were investigated and analyzed, respectively. The results indicate that the forming mechanism of the TiO2 nanofibres can be described as following: K2Ti6O13 nanoparticles are initially formed in alkaline solution using anatase nanoparticles as raw materials, and then gradually
grown to nanofibres along a certain crystalline axis obeyed the dissolution-growth mechanism. The pH value of washing solution has a significant influence on the structure and composition of the products. The nanofibres of K2Ti6O13, H2Ti3O7 and TiO2 can be obtained by the controlling of the pH value of washing solutions and heat-treatment temperature. The products, washed in solution with pH=7 and dried at 80℃, form the nanofibres of H2Ti3O7, which is subsequently calcined to form TiO2 nanofibres at 400℃.
