摘要
Efficient charge separation has been widely accepted as one of the important factors responsible for the photocatalytic water splitting, organic oxidation, and solar cell, etc. TiO2 mesocrystal is a superstructure which could largely enhance charge separation, where TiO2 nanocrystals with parallel crystallographic alignment assemble in a form of oriented aggregation. Here, the intercrystal misorientation in TiO2 superstructure was first concerned and evaluated on the influence of photocatalytic efficiency. Our results showed that the intercrystal misorientation in TiO2 superstructures had a harmful effect on the charge separation efficiency.
