title: Fluorine ions-mediated morphology control of anatase TiO2 with enhanced photocatalytic activity.
abstract: This review briefly summarizes recent advances in fluorine ions-mediated morphology control of anatase TiO(2) in the forms of nanotube arrays, nanosheets with high-energy facets, and hollow spheres. The correlations between the enhanced photocatalytic activity and structural and morphological modifications of anatase TiO(2) by fluorine ions are addressed.
