Here, we report a facile hydrothermal approach for synthesizing anatase TiO2 hierarchical mesoporous submicrotubes (ATHMSs) with the aid of long-chain polymer as soft template. The TiO2 nanocrystals, with sizes of 6-8 nm, are well interconnected with each other to build tubular architectures with diameters of 0.3-1.5 μm and lengths of 10-25 μm. Such highly porous structures give rise to very large specific surface area of 201.9 m(2) g(-1) and 136.8 m(2) g(-1) for the as-prepared and annealed sam ...[more]
