Abstract Ag or Pt-deposited TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by a simple method, in which oriented TiO2 nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and a noble metal (Ag or Pt) was deposited on TiO2 by photocatalytic reduction under UV irradiation. The oriented TiO2 nanorods with Ag or Pt nanoparticles (
