Silicon (Si) doped anatase titanium dioxide (Ti0.89Si0.11O2) single crystals bound by high-index {201} facets and high-energy {001} facets were synthesized by a facile method. It was found that the Si-doping can widely extend the optical absorption edge into the visible-light region and highly reactive facets can enhance their photocatalytic activity, as revealed by the combination of experimental and computational studies.Silicon (Si) doped anatase titanium dioxide (Ti0.89Si0.11O2) single crystals bound by high-index {201} facets and high-energy {001} facets were synthesized by a facile method.
