TiO2nanomaterial is promising with its high potential and outstanding performance in photocatalytic environmental applications, such as CO2conversion, water treatment, and air quality control. For many of these applications, the particle size, crystal structure and phase, porosity, and surface area influence the activity of TiO2dramatically. TiO2nanomaterials with special structures and morphologies, such as nanospheres, nanowires, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanoflowers are thus synthesized due to their desired characteristics. With an emphasis on the different morphologies of TiO2and the influence factors in the synthesis, this review summarizes fourteen TiO2preparation methods, such as the sol–gel method, solvothermal method, and reverse micelle method. The TiO2formation mechanisms, the advantages and disadvantages of the preparation methods, and the photocatalytic environmental application examples are proposed as well.
