In this work, we developed a templated self-assembly approach to fabricate self-supporting Au/TiO₂ binary nanoparticles-nanotubes (NPNTs) for the first time. The stable Au/TiO₂ nanoparticles colloids were pre-synthesized and then deposited onto an AAO template, following by a mild calcination process. Au/TiO₂ binary NPNTs can be achieved after removing the AAO template by NaOH solution. In addition, Au/TiO₂ NPNTs with different thicknesses and size distributions could be achieved by tailoring the process parameters, such as the molar ratio of AuNPs to TiO₂NPs, deposition modes and calcinations conditions. Therefore, these findings made controllable formation of Au/TiO₂ NPNTs attractive for promising fabrication methodologies of metal/metal oxides NPNTs.
