Abstract

A rationally designed crystalline Ti³⁺ core/amorphous Ti⁴⁺ shell configuration can reverse the population disparity between holes and electrons reaching the surface of microsized rutile TiO₂ photocatalyst, thus significantly enhancing its photocatalytic activity by two orders of magnitude in terms of the hydrogen production rate under the irradiation of UV–vis light.
