Abstract: Owning to their extensive practical application, the controllable synthesis of well-faceted TiO₂ crystal with high percentage of reactive facets has attracted increasing attention. When adjusting the concentration of HF at 120 mM and 240 mM, anatase TiO₂ crystal and plate with exposed {001} facets had been fabricated on the amine-grafted graphene oxide (AGO) via a facile hydrothermal method. The influence of experiment conditions on the morphology of the final products was investigated in detail. The results showed that the morphology of TiO₂ crystal on AGO transforms cube-like structure into truncated tetragonal bipyramid structure when extending the reaction time, and the size of TiO₂ crystal were affected by the molar ratio of F/Ti. In addition, the dispersion of TiO₂ plate were improved by amino or oxygen-containing group on AGO sheet.
