Synthesis of{010}-Faceted Anatase TiO_2 Nanocuboids via Hydrothermal Route and Its Photocatalytic Activity

{010}-faceted anatase TiO2 nanocuboids were fabricated via hydrothermal route by using pereoxotitanium complex as precursor.The structure and morphology of the as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD,SEM and TEM.The{010}-facet of nanocuboids with 4hhydrothermal reaction is up to 86%.The photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared samples was measured by degradation of Rhodamine B and the results showed that the nanocuboids with high photocatalytic activity and the activity associated with percentage of exposed{010}-facets.
