Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity of noble metal-modified TiO2 nanosheets with exposed {0Â 0Â 1} facets

- TiO2 nanosheets with exposed {0 0 1} facets were prepared by hydrothermal method.
- Pd and Ag NPs-loaded enhanced the photocatalytic activity under visible irradiation.
- Photodeposition is an effective method to obtain noble metal NPs on TiO2 surface.
