Facile synthesis of porous microspheres composed of TiO2 nanorods with high photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production

- A facile method for the synthesis of novel compacted and porous TiO2 microspheres with a high yield.
- The as-synthesized anatase TiO2 microspheres comprised of highly uniform TiO2 nanorods.
- The TiO2 microspheres possess a nanoporous structure and a large surface area.
- High photocatalytic activity was achieved for hydrogen production.
