A simple hydrothermal reaction among TiO2 nanopowders and alkaline solution has been used to synthesize low dimensional titanate nanostructures. The morphologies of the obtained nanomaterials depend on the process parameters: the structure of starting material, the nature and concentration of alkaline solution, reaction temperature and time, which suggests that the nanostructure synthesis could be controllable. You can use the tio2 and NaOH for this purpose, and the articles shared above are very much helpful.
