Abstract |
: |
TiO2 nanosheets with highly reactive {001} facets ({001}-TiO2) have attracted great attention in the
fields of science and technology because of their unique properties. In recent years, many efforts have
been made to synthesize {001}-TiO2 and to explore their applications in photocatalysis. In this review,
we summarize the recent progress in preparing {001}-TiO2 using different techniques such as
hydrothermal, solvothermal, alcohothermal, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and sol gel-based
techniques. Furthermore, the enhanced efficiency of {001}-TiO2 by modification of carbon materials,
surface deposition of transition metals, and non-metal doping is reviewed. Then, the applications of
{001}-TiO2-based photocatalysts in the degradation of organic dyes, hydrogen evolution, carbon
dioxide (CO2) reduction, bacterial disinfection, and dye-sensitized solar cells are summarized. We
believe this entire review on TiO2 nanosheets with {001} facets can further inspire researchers in
associated fields. |
