Titanate nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal method with different NaOH concentration using various TiO2 powders (P-25, rutile, anatase, and Ni doped TiO2) at 120 °C for 24 hrs. At 10 M NaOH, Ni doped TiO2 powders formed the titanate nanotubes which consisted of layered structure such as A2Ti2O5·H2O, A2Ti3O7, H2TiO·H2O (A = Na and/or H) with outer and inner diameter of ∼10 nm and 6 nm. Ni doped nanotubes absorbed a small amount of hydrogen at 6 and 10 atm, however, uptake of hydrogen was 1.2 wt% at 20 atm.
