Here we report a facile method to fabricate hollow TiO 2 fibers in micro‐scale via faithfully replication of sisal fiber. The length of the as‐synthesized fibers could reach several millimeters and consist of a bundle of hollow sub‐fibers. The fibers have node, pits, and crevices on their surface, which faithfully sustain the characteristics of the template. The phase transformation and photocatalytic activity of the fibers were also studied.
