Anatase TiO2 with Dominant High-Energy {001} Facets: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications

摘要: Control of the surface structure inorganic materials, in particular titania (TiO2), by chemical processes under nonequilibrium conditions is growing interest from scientific and utilitarian viewpoints. Titania one most important materials because its unique surface, electronic, photocatalytic properties, which make this material applicable many areas science technology ranging adsorption, catalysis photocatalysis to biomedicine, environmental monitoring cleanup, energy conversion storage, etc. Here we review existing strategies for synthesis anatase TiO2 micro- nanosheets with exposed high-energy {001} facets assembly these into various hierarchical structures. The are stabilized specific capping agents (typically, fluoride), used control growth crystals. presence improves significantly pro...
