A method of synthesizing anatase TiOnanosheets, the method comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a titanium complex with an ethanolamine derivative; (b) adding water to form a mixture; and (c) heating the mixture at a temperature ranging from about 150&#xb0; C. to about 200&#xb0; C. to obtain anatase TiOnanosheets having O-terminated {100} facets.

[object Object]

The present invention discloses a method preparing a TiOnanostructure comprising: mixing an organic acid and an aminoalcohol to form an ionic liquid; heating the ionic liquid with titanium ions and lithium ions to form a layered structure; and annealing the mixture to form the TiOnanostructure. There is also provided uses of the prepared nanostructure.
