In the present work we have synthesised Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes using hydrothermal method, and studied the effect of annealing temperature on the crystallinity of the nanotubes. The nanotubes obtained were annealed at 400 ° C and 600 ° C. In order to elucidate the changes caused by the annealing temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used. The composites of titania nanotubes and CdSe quantum dots were prepared using bifunctional linker, mercaptopropionic acid. The nanocomposites were characterized using TEM and XRD. The optical properties of the modified TiO2 nanotubes and their composites with CdSe (for potential solar cell applications) were characterized by LJV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra.
