A comparative study of the synthesis of TiO nanorods on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass, Si, SiO, Si/Ta, Si/TiN, Si/TiN/Ti and Si/HFO substrates by hydrothermal reaction is presented. Detailed analysis on the growth of TiO on pre-annealed Si/TiN/Ti and HfO (HFO) surfaces is also given. For Si/TiN/Ti, a pre-annealing procedure led to the transformation of Ti to a TiO layer which acts as a seed for aligned growth of TiO nanorods.
