Abstract

A facile and controllable hydrothermal approach is developed to synthesize rutile TiO₂ single crystals with regulable (110), (111) and (001) facets without toxic capping agents. The normalized surface photoreactivity of the as-prepared TiO₂ with (111) and (001) facets is approximately 5 times that of rutile TiO₂ with majority (110) facets.
