The fabrication of TiO₂-supported clinoptilolite via F^- contained hydrothermal etching and a resultant highly energetic {001} facet for the enhancement of its photocatalytic activity.

ABSTRACT: TiO₂-supported clinoptilolite (TiO₂/CP) was synthesized in the presence of F^- ions. Various characterizations demonstrated that the particle size of loaded TiO₂ increased linearly with an increase in the temperature and concentration of F^- ions. In particular, the additive F^- ions were favored to produce the mutually independent co-exposed {001} and {101} facets of loaded TiO₂, while TiO₂/CPs synthesized in the absence of F^- ions were dominated by the thermodynamically stable {101} facet. As photocatalysts for the removal of crystal violet or methyl orange dyes under UV-irradiation in aqueous solutions, TiO₂/CPs (ACP6) synthesized in the presence of F^- ions significantly
