A novel method was developed for the sensitive determination of nickel in environmental water samples by using TiO₂ nanotubes,a new nanomaterial,as solid phase extraction absorbent.In general,TiO₂ nanomaterials were often used for catalytic degradation of pollutants in environmental field,and only a very few application in environmental analytic chemistry.In present work,TiO₂ nanotubes was firstly used for the enrichment of nickel and the factors would influence the preconcentration performance were optimized.Under the optimal conditions,TiO₂ nanotubes exhibited its good enrichment capacity for nickel and the detection limit of the proposed method was 1 ng mL^-1.The proposed method was validated with real water samples,and excellent results were obtained with the spiked recoveries in the range of 94.4-99.2%,respectively.
