title: Hydrogenated titania: synergy of surface modification and morphology improvement for enhanced photocatalytic activity.
abstract: Surface-hydrogenated anatase TiO(2) (TiO(2)-H) nanowire-microspheres were prepared by converting protonated titanate nanotube to TiO(2)-H under a hydrogen atmosphere. We show that TiO(2)-H nanowire-microspheres have Ti-H and O-H bonds on their surface and exhibit improved visible-light absorption and highly enhanced photocatalytic activity.
