In recent years, strenuous efforts have been devoted to exploring ZnO functionalized TiO2 nanotube arrays (ZnO/TNTs) nanocomposites; however, there is still a paucity of reports on the construction of well-defined ZnO/TNTs heterostructure via efficient and easily accessible approach. In this work, d...
