Surface Structure of TiO2 Rutile (011) Exposed to Liquid Water
The rutile TiO2(011) surface exhibits a (2 × 1) reconstruction when prepared by standard techniques in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Here we report that a restructuring occurs upon exposing the surface to liquid water at room temperature. The experiment was performed in a dedicated UHV system, equipped for direct and clean transfer of samples between UHV and liquid environment. After exposure to liqu...
متن کاملNonstoichiometric rutile TiO2 photoelectrodes for improved photoelectrochemical water splitting.
A new type of nonstoichiometric rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) film with around 15 at% oxygen vacancies homogeneously distributed throughout the bulk was prepared. The resultant films, when used as a photoelectrode, showed a photoelectrochemical water splitting activity 1.7 times that of stoichiometric TiO2 at a bias of 0.9 V vs. Ag/AgCl. This is believed to result from the synergistic effect o...
متن کاملNature of the excited states of the rutile TiO2(110) surface with adsorbed water
We present an ab initio embedded cluster study of the ground and excited states for the rutile (1 1 0) surface with adsorbed water molecule. The calculated adsorption energies and geometries are compared with available experimental data. Upon photoexcitation, an electron–hole pair is created. We found that the electron is localized in the subsurface and thus cannot be directly involved in surfa...
متن کاملTheoretical Verification of Photoelectrochemical Water Oxidation Using Nanocrystalline TiO2 Electrodes.
Mesoscopic anatase nanocrystalline TiO2 (nc-TiO2) electrodes play effective and efficient catalytic roles in photoelectrochemical (PEC) H2O oxidation under short circuit energy gap excitation conditions. Interfacial molecular orbital structures of (H2O)3 &OH(TiO2)9H as a stationary model under neutral conditions and the radical-cation model of [(H2O)3&OH(TiO2)9H]+ as a working nc-TiO2 m...
متن کاملBand alignment of rutile and anatase TiO2
The most widely used oxide for photocatalytic applications owing to its low cost and high activity is TiO2. The discovery of the photolysis of water on the surface of TiO2 in 19721 launched four decades of intensive research into the underlying chemical and physical processes involved2–5. Despite much collected evidence, a thoroughly convincing explanation of why mixed-phase samples of anatase ...
