The invention discloses 
titanium dioxide nanoribbons exposing a {010} 
crystal face and a preparation method thereof; an exposed 
crystal face, except two end faces, of the 
titanium dioxide nanoribbons is the {010} 
crystal face (the 
exposure rate of the {010} crystal face is close to 100%). The preparation method comprises 
titanate nanoribbons mainly exposing a {010} crystal face are used as 
raw material and are roasted at high temperature to prepare the product. The preparation processes of the 
titanate nanoribbons mainly exposing the {010} crystal face mainly includes four processes: 
hydrothermal reaction, 
alcohol assisting self-
assembly reaction, 
water washing and 
drying. With adopting of the preparation method, not only is the 
exposure rate of the high-activity {010} crystal face improved, but also the specific surface area of 
titanium dioxide is increased. The preparation process has no need of use of 
fluorine-containing reagents and is an environmental-friendly green preparation method. With adopting of the preparation method, the preparation temperature of the 
titanium dioxide nanoribbons is reduced, and the production 
energy consumption and the production cost are effectively reduced. At the same time, because the 
titanium dioxide nanoribbons prepared by the method and exposing nearly 100% of the {010} crystal face have excellent photocatalytic activity, the 
titanium dioxide nanoribbons can be widely applied in the fields such as photolysis of water, 
environmental restoration, sensors and 
nano devices building.
