Titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using P25 and NaOH as the raw materials. The composition and morphology of the nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The adsorption characteristics and the rules of ammonium in aqueous solutions were tested in the static system.
