\nAbstract<\/strong> \u2014 Con\u00adtrol over faceting in nanocrys\u00adtals (NCs) is piv\u00adotal for many appli\u00adca\u00adtions, but most notably when inves\u00adti\u00adgat\u00ading cat\u00adalyt\u00adic reac\u00adtions which occur on the sur\u00adfaces of nanos\u00adtruc\u00adtures. Tita\u00adni\u00adum diox\u00adide (TiO2<\/sub>) is one of the most stud\u00adied pho\u00adto\u00adcat\u00ada\u00adlysts, but the depen\u00addence of its activ\u00adi\u00adty on mor\u00adphol\u00ado\u00adgy and phase has not yet been sat\u00adis\u00adfac\u00adto\u00adri\u00adly inves\u00adti\u00adgat\u00aded, due to a lack of appro\u00adpri\u00adate mod\u00adels. We report the non\u00adaque\u00adous sur\u00adfac\u00adtant-assist\u00aded syn\u00adthe\u00adsis of high\u00adly uni\u00adform TiO2 NCs with tai\u00adlorable mor\u00adphol\u00ado\u00adgy in the 1\u2013100 nm size r\u00e9gime. Meth\u00adods are described to engi\u00adneer the per\u00adcent\u00adage of {001} and {101} facets in anatase and to con\u00adtrol the mor\u00adphol\u00ado\u00adgy and phase of TiO2<\/sub> nanorods. The sur\u00adfac\u00adtants on the sur\u00adface of the NCs, which direct growth of uni\u00adform par\u00adti\u00adcles, may be removed through a sim\u00adple lig\u00adand exchange pro\u00adce\u00addure, allow\u00ading for the shape depen\u00addence of pho\u00adto\u00adcat\u00adalyt\u00adic hydro\u00adgen evo\u00adlu\u00adtion to be stud\u00adied using monodis\u00adperse TiO2<\/sub> NCs pre\u00adpared with\u00adout any high tem\u00adper\u00ada\u00adture anneal\u00ading. Such high\u00adly uni\u00adform nanocrys\u00adtals may act as mod\u00adel sys\u00adtems to inves\u00adti\u00adgate the influ\u00adence of faceting on a vari\u00adety of process\u00ades under oper\u00adat\u00ading con\u00addi\u00adtions.
