This work demonstrates growth and characterization of one-dimensional nanorods of titanium-dioxide (TiO2) on the fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by using hydrothermal method. Field effect scanning electron microscopy shows flower-like morphology, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirms the presence of Ti and O. The X-ray diffraction peaks agree well with the JCPDS data. Initially, the 1D nanorods are formed and high concentration of precursor assists evolution of the short branches to form flower-like structures.</p>1 aIssar, Sheetal1 aPoddar, Pankaj1 aMehra, N., C.1 aMahapatro, Ajit, K.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/growth-flower-patterns-tio2-nanorods-over-fto-substrate
