Mesoporous anatase TiO2 nanocups with plasmonic metal decoration for highly active visible-light photocatalysis

Abstract

This communication describes a method for facile synthesis of mesoporous anatase TiO2 nanocup crystals. The novel cuplike morphology of TiO2 decorated with gold (Au–TiO2) yields remarkably high photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation.
