Abstract

A facile fast hydrolysis route to a three-dimensional flow-like iron doped rutile TiO₂ nanostructure is developed. With iron species doping into both the bulk phase and the surface, the bandgap narrowing of rutile TiO₂ is realized and the dissociative adsorption of water on the surface is promoted, which accordingly lead to greatly enhanced activity in visible-light-driven water oxidation.
