Special rutile titanium dioxide (TiO₂) hollow microspheres were prepared successfully through hydrothermal methods when tetrabutyl titanate was adopted as raw material, β-cyclodextrin as template agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone as auxiliary agent. The effect of the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the temperature on the formation of TiO₂ morphology was discussed and the structure of the powders confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscope. The colour of products changed from black to white after roasted, and the results of FT-IR and XRD measures showed its structure conforming to the rutile TiO₂. It was found that the TiO₂ powders were hollow microspheres, and its surface tightly wrapped by nanorods for uniform, smooth, and orientation rule, which was of larger specific surface area.
