Nanoanatase having photocatalytic activity was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method under controlled conditions using Titanium-iso-propoxide. It is one of the most commonly used semiconductor oxide for environmental photocatalysis, being of low toxicity, insoluble in water and stable to photo and chemical corrosion over a wide range of pH. Their properties, which are determined by the preparation method, are very crucial in photocatalysis. The advantages of the hydrothermal method are that it is an easy method to obtain nanotube morphology, variation in the synthesis method can be implemented to enhance the properties of TiO2 nanotubes, and it is a feasible method for different applications. A systematic characterization was done using XRD, BET, FTIR and SEM techniques. When compared to commercial form, nanostructures have several advantages like large surface area, controlled morphology, size, porosity to obtain desired surface chemistry
