Abstract

The paper describes the sol-gel method for obtained TiO2 nanotubes on a sublayer of ZnO nanorods pre-formed by the hydrothermal method. Optimal regimes have been determined for the formation of TiO2-ZnO materials. The surface morphology of the obtained nanostructures has been carried out. Investigations of the surface morphology and structure of the obtained materials have been carried out.
