Herein, we mainly report a strategy for the facile synthesis of defect-engineered F-doped well-defined TiO2 hollow spiny nanocubes, constructed from NH<sub>4</sub>TiOF<sub>3</sub> as precursor. The topological transformation of NH<sub>4</sub>TiOF<sub>3</sub> mesocrystal is accompanied with fluorine anion releasing, which can be used as doping source to synthesize F-doped TiO<sub>2</sub>. Our result shows that the introduction of oxygen vacancies (Vo's) and F dopant can be further achieved by a m ...[more]
