Abstract

Three-dimensional, hollow, anatase TiO₂ boxes, each was enclosed by six single-crystalline TiO₂ plates exposed with highly reactive {001} facets, were facilely obtained by calcining a cubic TiOF₂ solid precursor at 500–600 °C. The formation of such particular nanostructures is attributed to the hard self-template restriction and the adsorption of F⁻ ions from the TiOF₂.
