| Abstract Scope |
One-dimensional titanium oxide lepidocrocite filaments (1DLs) have potential in many applications. As a material with a base unit of just 2x2 titanium octahedra in cross section, they exhibit confinement in two dimensions providing a fascinating mix of properties. Their scalable fabrication process will be discussed in detail, including a presentation of the primary characterization techniques for 1DLs. Their unique electronic properties will be presented, including the impact of colloidal concentration on the electronic properties of the dried solid. Additionally, as a low-dimensional semiconductor they offer promise in adsorption and photocatalysis with a locus of water treatment. Their demonstrated potential in water splitting for hydrogen generation will be discussed. |
