Relaxation Processes of Water Molecules on Surfaces of Highly Dispersed Silica and Titania/Silica

Analyses of dielectric spectra and theoretical simulation results demonstrate that the most probable sites for water cluster adsorption are the B-sites at the TiO 2 /SiO 2 (TS) phase boundary regions and the SiOH groups on the SiO 2 phase in TS. The amount of water on SiO 2 in TS is lower than for p...
