“…Such studies were however mostly done on anatase samples with uncharacterized morphologies or low faceting, [24][25][26][27][28][29] mixed with other TiO 2 phases, [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] or with physisorbed water still present on the surface, [26][27][28][35][36][37][38] thus hampering the understanding of the nature of their surface hydroxyls. Similarly, 1 H NMR studies often show the same traits: uncharacterized morphologies, [39][40][41][42][43] amorphous surfaces, [44][45][46][47][48] mixed phases 36 and the presence of a layer of physisorbed water. 19,36,41,43,47 In order for a sample to display a simple, uniform and comprehensible surface chemistry, morphology control seems to be required to obtain well-faceted crystallites of a specific allotrope with a high majority of a single facet exposed.…”
