Abstract

Surface-hydrogenated anatase TiO2 (TiO2–H) nanowire-microspheres were prepared by converting protonated titanate nanotube to TiO2–H under a hydrogen atmosphere. We show that TiO2–H nanowire-microspheres have Ti–H and O–H bonds on their surface and exhibit improved visible-light absorption and highly enhanced photocatalytic activity.
