Regularly spaced TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes were prepared by anodizing a titanium substrate in triethylene glycol electrolyte at elevated temperature. In comparison to conventional TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes, spaced nanotubes possess an adjustable spacing between the individual nanotubes; this allows for controlled buildup of a hierarchical nanoparticle-on-nanotube structure. Here, we use this principle for layer-by-layer decoration of the tubes with TiO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles. The hierarchical ...[more]
