► One-dimensional TiO2 nanotubes were synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD). ► Two substrates were used in ALD-TiO2, anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). ► The two routes resulted in pure TiO2 nanotube arrays and coaxial TiO2-CNT nanotubes, respectively. ► The TiO2 nanotub...
