The use of microwave irradiation resulted in the formation of TiO2 tubes comprising anatase and rutile phases. Conventional heating resulted in the formation of tubes with a titanate structure. The two methods yielded tubular structures with similar size dimensions, surface areas and morphologies. The two methods gave 100 % yields of tubes with different degrees of crystallinity.enMicrowave irradiationTiO2 tubesConventional heatingHydrothermal synthesisConference PresentationSikhwivhilu, L., Mpelane, S., Moloto, N., & Ray, S.
