Solvothermally controllable synthesis of anatase TiO2 nanocrystals with dominant {001} facets and enhanced photocatalytic activity
Abstract
A new non-hydrolytic approach was developed to synthesize anatase TiO2 nanocrystals with dominant {001} facets by solvothermal alcoholysis of TiF4, which was relatively green since the direct use of HF was avoided and less HF released from alcoholysis. These TiO2 nanocrystals displayed uniform shape and could be easily controlled owing to the smooth alcoholysis process. Using tert-butanol as the initial alcohol source, the total surface area was 103 m2 g−1 with small crystal sizes around 23 nm. By changing different alcohols, both the percentage of exposed {001} facets and the particle size could be adjusted. The results show that alcohols play important roles in the present strategy (1) oxygen donor to provide mild condition for crystal growth and (2) assistant agent to stabilize F species for dominant {001} facets. In further application, the absolute surface area of the {001} facets, instead of total surface area, has become the most important factor for influencing the activity of TiO2 crystals under photocatalytic selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
