Put your best face forward : The performance of TiO 2 anatase crystals in energy and environmental applications is normally correlated with the TiO 2 crystal facets exposed, and increasing the percentage of highly reactive surfaces is extremely important. A new gas‐phase oxidation process using TiCl 4 as precursor now yields anatase TiO 2 single crystals with primarily high‐index {105} facets, which can cleave water photocatalytically.
