Abstract

Synthesis of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) with both controllable size and high energy facets is technologically important for its application in photocatalysis, photoelectrochemical cell, and solar cells. Herein, we report a simple and fluorine free hydrothermal method to synthesize hierarchically nanostructured mesoporous anatase TiO2 spheres (MATS) with controllable size, which covered with nearly 100% {001} facet. Mild H2SO4 was used as both a phase-inducer formation of anatase phase and a capping agent to promote oriented growth and formation of {001} facet. PVP acted as morphology control agent to prevent growing larger of the mesoporous anatase TiO2 spheres (MATS) with ∼600 nm in size. Detailed XRD and SEM studies suggested that formation of MTAS is a typical nucleation and growth process. The refining or reconstruction of TiO2 crystal structure during growth resulted in mesoporous crystalline framework that exhibits enhanced photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B.
