Controllable synthesis of rutile titania with novel curved surfaces

We report a facile organic-free hydrothermal strategy to fabricate rutile TiO 2 single crystals with a new type of curved surfaces which consist of high-energy-facet-bound nanohills rather than quasi-continuous miller-index microfacets. Moreover, by solely altering the concentration of F − , the pro...

Summary:We report a facile organic-free hydrothermal strategy to fabricate rutile TiO 2 single crystals with a new type of curved surfaces which consist of high-energy-facet-bound nanohills rather than quasi-continuous miller-index microfacets. Moreover, by solely altering the concentration of F − , the proportion of facets as well as the aspect ratio of TiO 2 could be readily controlled.
