The origin of the improved performance of erbium-doped TiO2 film via the hydrothermal doping process is discussed. Facet engineering of rutile TiO2 on the surface atomic structure is known but the electronic structure has been rarely studied to date. Particularly, the dominant facet of rutile TiO2 h...
