Alkali metal (Li+, Na+, K+) intercalated titanate nanotubes have been studied by vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and FT-infrared), X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. The vibrational spectroscopic data shown that the most affected vibrational mode is that related to Ti–O bond whose oxygen is...
