Abstract

S1.Molar relationship between TBAOH and protonated lepidocrocite-like ferrititanate nanosheets (TBA+/H+); S2. Calculation of chemical formula for HxTi2-xFexO4·nH2O (ferrititanate nanosheets); S3. Calculation of concentration of TiO2-Acac in the as-synthesized TiO2-sol; S4. Complexant/metal (A), hydrolysis (H) and the acidity (H+) ratios in the synthesized TiO2-sol; S5. The adopted [Ti] anatase/[Ti] ferrititanate mol ratios for HM-2 and HM-1 respectively; S6. 2D AFM image of an exfoliated nanosheet and its hight profile; S7. Shows low temperature EPR spectra of P-TiO2 sample under illumination with UVA light (375 nm). Three different EPR signals can be identified: (i) Single electron trapped oxygen vacancy hole centers (Setov), (ii) Ti3+ electron centers and surface O2- hole centers; S8. FTIR curve of HM-1 and HM-2 before and after calcination at 300 °C; S9. TEM images of HM-1, HM-2 and HM-2 400°C; S10. TEM images of HM-1; S11. XPS curves of HM-1 and HM-2
