1. A method of forming a ceramic body with nanostructures on at least one surface thereof, the method comprising:

  • (a) compressing ceramic particulate at a pressure sufficient to form a solid body;

    (b) sintering the solid body at a temperature and for a period sufficient to bond the particulate in the solid body into one or more ceramic crystals;

    (c) exposing the solid body to a reducing environment at a temperature and for a period sufficient to form nanostructures on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the solid body.
