Abstract

Anatase TiO2 nanosheets with different percentage of exposed high-reactive {001} facets were synthesized successfully. Besides the FESEM and TEM anslysis, XRD, Raman, and PL analysis were also conducted systematically to give a new insight on analyzing the as-prepared {001} facets dominated TiO2 photocatalysts. Photocatalytic activities of the photocatalysts were tested by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The results indicated that there was an optimal percentage of the exposed {001} facets existed to give the highest photocatalytic activity of as-prepared TiO2 nanosheets. A possible mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the {001} facets dominated anatase TiO2 was also proposed.
