(A) XRD spectra of nanoparticles, suggesting the presence of Anatase (A) phase and Rutile (R) phase TiO2. Only P25 contains a combination of Anatase and Rutile phase whereas the remaining groups only contain Rutile phase; (B) TEM-EDX spectra of nanoparticles, indicating the presence of Ti and O peaks, suggesting the presence of TiO2. ExS contains an additional Si peak and PrR contains an additional Al peak, indicating the presence of an additional passivation layer around the TiO2 nanoparticle. Cu signals originate from the copper TEM grids used. Legend: P25 – Pristine P25; PrS – Pristine Sphere; ExS – Extracted Sphere; PrR – Pristine Rod; ExR – Extracted Rod
