Sword‐like anatase TiO 2 nanobelts exposed with 78 % clean {100} facets were synthesized and the facet‐dependent photoreactivity of anatase TiO 2 was investigated. By quantitative comparison with the reference {001} facets, the {100} facets possessed about ten‐times higher active sites density than that on {001} facets, resulting in higher photoreaction efficiency. After the active sites density normalization, the {100} and {001} facets exhibited distinct wavelength‐dependent photocatalytic performance, attributed to the anisotropic electronic structures in TiO 2 crystals.
