Blackening (or enhancing the optical absorption in the visible region) of nano-sized white semiconducting oxides (N-WSOs) is of significant importance for solar utilization. Here, we present a novel Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism-based method for blackening the N-WSOs via facile one-step heating of the N-WSOs with alcohols. Taking n-butanol-induced blackening of TiO (anatase) as an example, the pristine TiO NP powders can be successfully blackened to form black TiO (B-TiO) via heating with n-butanol at 300 °C for 20 min.
