Abstract

Anatase TiO₂ microcrystals containing ∼15% highly reactive {110} facets were successfully synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method, in which H₂O₂, HF, and Cl⁻ ions showed a synergistic effect on the formation of {110} facets. Benefiting from the surface heterojunction structure, TiO₂ microcrystals with {110} facets showed an enhanced photocatalytic activity for dye degradation.
