Abstract

Single crystalline anatase TiO₂ rods with dominant reactive {010} facets are directly synthesized by hydrothermally treating Cs_0.68Ti_1.83O₄/H_0.68Ti_1.83O₄ particles. The nanosized rods show a comparable conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and a superior photocatalytic conversion of CO₂ into methane to the benchmark P25 TiO₂ nanocrystals.
