The invention discloses
titanium dioxide nanoribbons exposing a {010}
crystal face and a preparation method thereof; an exposed
crystal face, except two end faces, of the
titanium dioxide nanoribbons is the {010}
crystal face (the
exposure rate of the {010} crystal face is close to 100%). The preparation method comprises
titanate nanoribbons mainly exposing a {010} crystal face are used as
raw material and are roasted at high temperature to prepare the product. The preparation processes of the
titanate nanoribbons mainly exposing the {010} crystal face mainly includes four processes:
hydrothermal reaction,
alcohol assisting self-
assembly reaction,
water washing and
drying. With adopting of the preparation method, not only is the
exposure rate of the high-activity {010} crystal face improved, but also the specific surface area of
titanium dioxide is increased. The preparation process has no need of use of
fluorine-containing reagents and is an environmental-friendly green preparation method. With adopting of the preparation method, the preparation temperature of the
titanium dioxide nanoribbons is reduced, and the production
energy consumption and the production cost are effectively reduced. At the same time, because the
titanium dioxide nanoribbons prepared by the method and exposing nearly 100% of the {010} crystal face have excellent photocatalytic activity, the
titanium dioxide nanoribbons can be widely applied in the fields such as photolysis of water,
environmental restoration, sensors and
nano devices building.
