Abstract

Hierarchical rutile TiO2 microspheres composed of nanorods have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The as-synthesized rutile sample shows highly enhanced photocatalytic activity towards H2 production from water. The superior photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the improved crystalline quality, the higher percentage of reductive {110} facets exposed and increased pore sizes for the samples obtained under higher temperatures.
