A nondestructive, simple process for the synthesis of CNT–TiO 2 and various other hybrid materials, using benzyl alcohol as surfactant (see figure), is described. π − π interactions enable the use of pristine CNTs without the need of covalent functionalization. Furthermore, benzyl alcohol acts as a growth inhibitor to produce very small and uniform rutile nanocrystals without too great a reduction of the anatase to rutile transformation.
