Scanning electron micrographs and digital photo of the hierarchical porous TiO2 fibers (left) and transmission electron micrographs of the gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)/TiO2 composite fiber. TiO2 fibers have two types of pores: PTFE-templated macropores with 200-500 nm in diameter, and interconnected pores throughout the fiber body with a mean size between 40-80 nm; thus termed hierarchical porosity (image on the left). Because the macropores provide channels for water flow, a facile solution processing method is adopted to homogeneously anchor Au NPs onto the fiber surface (image on the right).
