Uniform NH4TiOF3 mesocrystals prepared by an ambient temperature self-assembly process and their topotaxial conversion to anatase.
For the first time, we describe a simple, room-temperature surfactant-mediated route to inorganic mesocrystals of NH(4)TiOF(3) and their remarkable topotaxial conversion by washing or annealing to TiO(2) as anatase mesocrystals.
