Anodic TiO2 nanotube arrays for photocatalytic CO2 conversion: comparative photocatalysis and EPR study

Timofey Savchuk et al.

Summary: A comparative study on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes arrays in gas-phase CO2 conversion to hydrocarbon products revealed that multi-walled nanotubes exhibit faster rates of methane and methanol production compared to single-walled nanotubes. EPR spectroscopy showed that Ti3+/oxygen vacancy centers are mainly located inside the outer layer of nanotubes, while carbon dangling bonds are observed on the surface of the inner layer, indicating the key role of carbon defects in photoinduced charge carrier accumulation.

Crystal Facet Engineering and Hydrogen Spillover-Assisted Synthesis of Defective Pt/TiO2-x Nanorods with Enhanced Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Activity

Yukari Yamazaki et al.

Summary: Hydrogen spillover can assist in introducing defects in a TiO2 crystal, while crystal facet engineering offers a promising approach to influencing the recombination step of photo-generated electrons and holes. In this study, rutile TiO2 nanorods were synthesized with different aspect ratios and Pt-deposited TiO2-x nanorods were obtained via reduction treatment assisted by hydrogen spillover. The Pt/TNR with a higher aspect ratio reduced at 200 degrees C exhibited the highest activity in photocatalytic H-2 production under visible light irradiation due to the synergistic effect of Ti3+ defects introduction and spatial charge carrier separation induced by crystal facet engineering.
