Hierarchical flower-like nanostructures of anatase TiO2 nanosheets dominated by {001} facets

The hierarchical flower-like nanostructures of anatase nanosheets were fabricated a one-pot, template-free method and employed ethanol as a mild solvent. The special structures were formed by adding reaction time and the as-prepared TiO2 exhibited superior photocatalytic performances in degradation of methylene blue under UV-vis light irradiation.288
