摘要：Herein, we mainly report a strategy for the facile synthesis of defect-engineered F-doped well-defined TiO2 hollow spiny nanocubes, constructed from NH4TiOF3 as precursor. The topological transformation of NH4TiOF3 mesocrystal is accompanied with fluorine anion releasing, which can be used as doping source to synthesize F-doped TiO2. Our result shows that the introduction of oxygen vacancies (Vo's) and F dopant can be further achieved by a moderate photoreduction process. The as prepared sample is beneficial to improve photocatalystic degradation and Photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency under visible light irradiation. And this improvement in photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic performance can be ascribed to the significant enhancement of visible light absorption and separation of excited charges resulted from the presence of oxygen vacancies, F- ions and hollow structure of TiO2.
