Abstract:
Novel TiO2 mesocrystalline microrods with unique hexagonal structure were prepared via a facial thermal method. Their photocatalytic performance under UV irradiation was much higher than that of the Degussa P25 benchmark, one of the best commercial polycrystalline TiO2 photocatalyst. The hexagonal microrods were formed through self-directed self-assembly within intermediate scaffolds.
