چکیده
Finding a route to synthesize nanostructures with a high-surface area is critical for developing high-performance energy materials. In article number 1700045, Lisha Fan, Ho Nyung Lee, and co-workers demonstrate that precise control of nonequilibrium growth conditions during pulsed laser deposition can produce single-crystalline anatase TiO2 nanobrush architectures with large surface areas terminated with high energy {001} facets.

Kinetically Controlled Fabrication of Single‐Crystalline TiO2 Nanobrush Architectures with High Energy {001} Facets
This study demonstrates that precise control of nonequilibrium growth conditions during pulsed laser deposition (PLD) can be exploited to produce single-crystalline anatase TiO2 nanobrush architectures with large surface areas terminated with high energy {001} facets. The data indicate that the key to nanobrush formation is controlling the atomic surface transport processes to balance defect ag...
متن کاملHydrothermal etching fabrication of TiO2@graphene hollow structures: mutually independent exposed {001} and {101} facets nanocrystals and its synergistic photocaltalytic effects
Highly exposed facets TiO2 attracts enormous attention due to its excellent separation effect of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and induced high performance of photocatalytic activity. Herein, a novel hydrothermal etching reaction was used to synthesize graphene-wrapped TiO2 hollow core-shell structures. Different with the reported co-exposed facets TiO2 single crystal nanoparticles, the pr...
متن کاملCNTs threaded (001) exposed TiO2 with high activity in photocatalytic NO oxidation.
A microwave-ionothermal strategy was developed for in situ synthesis of CNTs threaded TiO2 single crystal with a tunable percentage of surface exposed (001) active facets. The CNTs were used as microwave antennas to create local "super hot" dots to induce Ti(3+) adsorption and hydrolysis, thereby leading to a good assembly of (001) facets exposed single crystalline TiO2 threaded by the CNTs in ...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced synthesis of porous single-crystal-like TiO2 with excellent lithium storage properties.
Porous anatase TiO(2) single crystal architectures with large specific surface area and remarkable crystalline phase-stability were fabricated via a green microwave-assisted process. Ionic liquid was chosen as both an essential structure-directing agent for the formation of the {001} facets exposed TiO(2) and an etching agent source for selective erosion of the exposed {001} facets, leading to ...
متن کاملAnatase TiO2 crystals with exposed high-index facets.
Put your best face forward: The performance of TiO2 anatase crystals in energy and environmental applications is normally correlated with the TiO2 crystal facets exposed, and increasing the percentage of highly reactive surfaces is extremely important. A new gas-phase oxidation process using TiCl4 as precursor now yields anatase TiO2 single crystals with primarily high-index {105} facets, which...
