Abstract
Hydrogenated {001}-facets-dominated anatase TiO2 nanosheets have O–H bonds and O− on their surface. The high reactive {001} facets were maintained by the formation of Ti–H bonds. A large number of Ti3+ ions and oxygen vacancies were produced by hydrogenation, resulting in improved light absorption and enhanced photocatalytic activity.Keywords
