Clocking the Ultrafast Electron Cooling in Anatase Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
The recent identification of strongly bound excitons in roomtemperature anatase TiO2 single crystals and nanoparticles underscores the importance of bulk many-body effects in samples used for applications. Here, for the first time, we unravel the interplay between many-body interactions and correlations in highly excited anatase TiO2 nanoparticles using ultrafast twodimensional deep-ultraviolet...
متن کاملTheoretical study of the interaction of harmful heroin molecule with N-doped TiO2 anatase nanoparticles
Density functional theory calculations were carried out to study the interaction of heroin molecule with pristine and N-dopedTiO2 anatase nanoparticles. The oxygen atom of heroin molecule was found to be the binding site on the heroin molecule. In contrast, the binding site of TiO2 nanoparticle was positioned over the fivefold coordinated titanium atoms. The results showed that the adsorption e...

متن کاملWhy is anatase a better photocatalyst than rutile? - Model studies on epitaxial TiO2 films
The prototypical photocatalyst TiO2 exists in different polymorphs, the most common forms are the anatase- and rutile-crystal structures. Generally, anatase is more active than rutile, but no consensus exists to explain this difference. Here we demonstrate that it is the bulk transport of excitons to the surface that contributes to the difference. Utilizing high -quality epitaxial TiO2 films of...
متن کاملThree-phase junction for modulating electron–hole migration in anatase–rutile photocatalysts† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Optimized structures (XYZ coordinates) for pure phase and biphase crystals; other structure models for phase junction. See DOI: 10.1039/c5sc00621j
The heterophase solid–solid junction as an important type of structure unit has wide applications for its special mechanics and electronic properties. Here we present a first three-phase atomic model for the anatase–rutile TiO2 heterophase junction and determine its optical and electronic properties, which leads to resolution of the long-standing puzzles on the enhanced photocatalytic activity ...
