It is not directly related to your request... but I am trying to remember how the beginning was at the other place. It is incredible how one gets used to things working in a particular way, and how annoying it is if they become unusable. Humans are just terrible creatures of habit!

Scanning electron micrographs and digital photo of the hierarchical porous TiO2 fibers (left) and transmission electron micrographs of the gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)/TiO2 composite fiber. TiO2 fibers have two types of pores: PTFE-templated macropores with 200-500 nm in diameter, and interconnected pores throughout the fiber body with a mean size between 40-80โ€‰nm; thus termed hierarchical porosity (image on the left). Because the macropores provide channels for water flow, a facile solution processing method is adopted to homogeneously anchor Au NPs onto the fiber surface (image on the right).
