Gas-Phase Photodegradation of Decane and Methanol on TiO2: Dynamic Surface Chemistry Characterized by Diffuse Reflectance FTIR
Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) was used to study illuminated TiO2 surfaces under both vacuum conditions, and in the presence of organic molecules (decane and methanol). In the presence of hole scavengers, electrons are trapped at Ti(III)–OH sites, and free elect...
