Abstract

The invention relates to a TiO2 nanosheet vertically growing on the surface of a carbon-based electrode and a preparation method of the TiO2 nanosheet and belongs to the technical field of the nanomaterials. The preparation method of the TiO2 nanosheet comprises the following four steps: performing pretreatment on a substrate; performing an in-situ hydrothermal reaction on the pretreated substrate in a sodium hydroxide solution, which is a process of dissolution and recrystallization, and adding a certain amount of structural inducer to form a nanosheet array evenly grown in such a manner of being perpendicular to the surface of the substrate; performing washing and acid soaking, namely repeatedly washing the generated TiO2 nanosheet by use of ultrapure water after the reaction is completed and soaking the TiO2 nanosheet in an acid until the TiO2 nanosheet is neutral; and calcining for a while at a certain temperature in an N2 protection atmosphere to obtain the single-crystal vertically grown TiO2 nanosheet. The TiO2 nanosheet has excellent biocompatibility, stability and environmental friendliness; the preparation method is simple; the vertically grown TiO2 nanosheet is capable of reducing the resistance to electron transfer and can be applied to a microbial fuel cell (MFC) to improve electric quantity output.
