In the present investigation, we report low temperature facile synthesis of TiO2 nanocrystalline thin films. TiO2 nanorods were hydrothermally deposited on transparent conducting oxide substrate comparatively at low temperature (140 0C). The structural, optical, morphological and compositional properties are investigated by detailed XRD, UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer, SEM, EDS and XPS studies. Optical spectra showed strong light absorption in UV region. The XRD, EDS and XPS spectrum demonstrated that the deposited thin films consist pure rutile phase tetragonal TiO2 nanorods. The SEM images confirm uniform, compact and well aligned nanorods were grown on the overall substrate surface. The deposited nanocrystalline TiO2 material have potential for solar cell application.

Single crystalline, rutile phase, nanorods.
