In this work, we hydrothermally synthesized titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT), and grew graphene/TNT (Gr/TNT) composites in situ in a graphene solution. Transmission electron images indicated a homogeneous distribution of TNT, and co-existence of TNT and graphene in the composite. The crystalline stru...
