A facile bottom-up method for synthesis of peroxo-potassium titanate nanoribbons and visible light photocatalytic activity derived from a peroxo-titanium bond.

ABSTRACT: Low-dimensional titanate nanostructures are gaining attention as a promising material for various photocatalytic applications. However, these conventional titanium oxide-based materials cannot utilize visible light because of their wide bandgap, and their synthesis generally requires high-alkali (10 mol L^-1) and high-temperature (160-200 °C) conditions. Here, we report facile bottom-up synthesis for the visible light-activated peroxo-titanate nanoribbon (PTNR). The use of the peroxo-titanium complex ion containing the potassium ion as a precursor can induce the formation of a layered potassium titanate structure (K_2-x H _x Ti₂O₅) based on the self-organization reaction between titanium complex ions and potassium ions under
