Three-dimensional (3D) crystalline anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) hierarchical nanostructures were synthesized through a facile and controlled hydrothermal and after-annealing process. The formation mechanism for the anatase TiO2 3D hierarchical nanostructures was investigated in detail. The 3D hierarchical nanostructures morphologies are formed by self-organization of several tens of radially distributed thin petals with a thickness of several nanometers with a larger surface area. The surface area of TiO2 hierarchical nanostructures determined by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms was measured to be 64.8 m(2) g(-1). Gas sensing properties based on the hierarchical nanostructures were investigated. A systematic study on sensitivity as a function of temperatures and gas concentrations was carried out. It reveals an improved ethonal gas sensing response property with a sensitivity of about 6.4 at 350 degrees C upon exposure to 100 ppm ethanol vapor for the TiO2 hierarchical nanostructures. A gas sensing mechanism based on the adsorption-desorption of oxygen on the surface of TiO2 is discussed and analyzed. This novel gas sensor can be multifunctional and promising for practical applications. Furthermore, the hierarchical nanostructures with high surface area can find variety of potential applications such as solar cells, biosensors, catalysts, etc.
