Let's facet it: TiO(2) mesocrystals (MCs; see figure) enclosed by (101) and (001) facets can be synthesized by a facile green approach and the ratio of (101)/(001) can be tuned simply by adjusting the solvothermal periods. The photocatalytic activity of TiO(2) MCs exposing high proportions of (101) facets possess higher photocatalytic activity than those with lower facets; this can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Ti(3+) and the (101)/(001) facet ratio.
通过简便的绿色方法可以合成由（101）和（001）面封闭的 TiO(2) 介晶（MC；见图），并且通过简单地调整溶剂热周期可以调节（101）/（001）的比例。暴露高比例（101）面的 TiO(2) MC 的光催化活性比那些具有较低面的 MC 具有更高的光催化活性；这可以归因于 Ti(3+)和（101）/（001）面比例的协同效应。
