title: Flower-like TiO2 nanostructures with exposed {001} facets: facile synthesis and enhanced photocatalysis.
abstract: Flower-like TiO(2) nanostructures with exposed {001} facets were synthesized by a low-temperature hydrothermal process from Ti powders for the first time, and they exhibited enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye under ultraviolet light irradiation.
