Abstract: SO4-2, F-, Cl- and PO4-3 were selected as anion to investigate the morphology and the crystal form of TiO2 (named as TiO2-S、TiO2-F、TiO2-Cl and TiO2-P) prepared with hydrothermal synthesis in this study. Their photoctalytic performance were also investigated. Form SEM photo, TiO2-S、TiO2-F、TiO2-Cl and TiO2-P present shape of particle, decanedron, acanthosphere, and irregular bulk, respectively. XRD patterns showed that TiO2-S and TiO2-F were both anatase structure, TiO2-Cl was rutile structure, and TiO2-P was a mixed phase of anatase, rutile and brookite. These were indicated by the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. XPS spectrum showed that four TiO2 nanometer materials are affected by the anion doping. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were evaluated by rhodamine B degradation. The results revealed that the order of photocatalytic efficiency was TiO2-F>TiO2-S>TiO2-Cl>TiO2-P, which indicated that the photocatalytic activity of anatase with {001} facets and F was higher than rutile's and brookite's.
