Abstract

A totally novel, extremely easy, much greener and low-cost method has been developed to synthesize TiO₂ mesocrystals. These materials are built of TiO₂ nanocrystals with similar crystallographic orientation and largely exposed {001} facets. Their unique structure optimizes the relationship between specific surface area, crystallite size and active facets, and therefore leads to superior photocatalytic activity.
