Single-crystalline TiOF(2) crystals with cubical morphology were prepared via a facile solvothermal method and their transformation to anatase TiO(2) under different calcination conditions such as pure argon, moist argon and pure hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) was explored by using XRD/Raman/UV-Vis/SEM/TEM/SAED. The non-metal sulfur doping was successfully fulfilled and the doped TiO(2) microcubes showed the best photocatalytic H(2) evolution property.
