Hollow Square RodLike Microtubes Composed of Anatase Nanocuboids with Coexposed {100}, {010}, and {001} Facets for Improved Photocatalytic Performance.


ABSTRACT: In this study, hollow square rodlike microtubes composed of anatase nanocuboids with coexposed {100}, {010}, and {001} facets were successfully synthesized via a mild hydrothermal treatment method in the presence of NH4F by using layered H2Ti3O7 ribbons as the precursor. The precursor H2Ti3O7 ribbons were prepared from H+/Na+ ion-exchanged Na2Ti3O7. The suspension solution of protonated H2Ti3O7 ribbons was adjusted to desired pH values (0.5-13.0) prior to hydrothermal treatment. The elongated direction of the microtubes is along the b axis, according to the profile of the H2Ti3O7 ribbons. The transformation from staggered [Ti3O7]2- sheets to hollow square rodlike microtubes contained the formation and recombination of the dispersed octahedral [Ti(OH)2(OH2)4]2+ monomers, the formation and growth of the initial anatase nuclei, and the reassembly of the anatase nanocuboids along the b-axis direction during the continuous hydrothermal process. The degradation rate of pH 0.5-TiO2 was the highest at 1.66 × 10-2 min-1, which was 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.3, and 18.4 folds higher than that of pH 3.0-TiO2 (1.27 × 10-2 min-1), pH 7.0-TiO2 (1.11 × 10-2 min-1), pH 5.0-TiO2 (0.83 × 10-2 min-1), P25-TiO2 (0.73 × 10-2 min-1), and the blank sample (0.09 × 10-2 min-1), respectively. Compared with P25-TiO2 and the other anatase TiO2 samples, pH 0.5-TiO2 exhibited the best photocatalytic activity, which was mainly attributed to its larger proportion of {010} (or {100}) facets, smaller crystalline size, higher band gap, and larger specific surface area.
