Tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) nanorods were hydrothermally synthesized using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a guiding agent. The nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, and diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The effects of crystallization duration and Ta₂O₅/Sr(OH)₂ ratio on the product morphology were investigated, and a growth mechanism was proposed. Phase-pure Ta₂O₅ nanorods with controlled morphology were formed in the presence of PEG and Sr(OH)₂, which was necessary to form the nanorods. Sr(OH)₂ induced the surface dissolution and re-growth of Ta₂O₅. PEG induced the anisotropic growth of Ta₂O₅ by acting as a capping agent. The products were used to photocatalytically degrade rhodamine B under ultraviolet irradiation. The catalytic activity directly correlated with the length-diameter ratio of the Ta₂O₅ nanorods. A maximum apparent reaction rate constant of 0.156 min^-1 was obtained. The Ta₂O₅ nanorods were stable during photocatalytic reaction and could be recycled several times without loss of activity.
