Solvothermally Synthesized Hierarchical Aggregates of Anatase TiO Nanoribbons/Nanosheets and Their Photocatalytic-Photocurrent Activities.

Hierarchical aggregates of anatase TiO nanoribbons/nanosheets (TiO-NR) and anatase TiO nanoparticles (TiO-NP) were produced through a one-step solvothermal reaction using acetic acid or ethanol and titanium isopropoxide as solvothermal reaction systems. The crystalline structure, crystalline phase, and morphologies of synthesized materials were characterized using several techniques. According to our findings, both TiO-NR and TiO-NP were found to have polycrystalline structures, with pure anatase phases.
