Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, extensive research on the synthesis of nanotubes made of materials other than carbon, and especially of oxides such as MoO3, WO3, VO(x), and TiO2 has been reported. In recent years, TiO2 and materials derived from TiO2 have been the focus of numerous investigations for applications in photovoltaic cells, gas sensors, ultraviolet blockers, and for promising applications in photocatalysis. Self-decontaminating textiles were prepared using layer-by-layer deposition of highly active WO3/titanate nanotubes for photocatalytic removal of sulfide and organophosphonate simulants and authentic chemical warfare agents by using solar light.
