The molar amounts of defective sites (M-d) in several titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2) powders were determined using photoinduced reactions of electron accumulation in deaerated aqueous solutions containing sacrificial hole scavengers and subsequent reduction of methylviologen to its cation radical. Measurements of pH dependence of typical anatase and rutile TiO2 powders showed that these defective sites were of electronic energy just below the conduction band edge of TiO2 in ranges of 0-0.35 V for anatase and 0-0.25 V for rutile, A linear relation of M-d with the rate constant of electron-hole recombination determined by femtosecond pump-probe diffuse reflection spectroscopy revealed that M-d could be a quantitative parameter of recombination between a photoexcited electron and a positive hole. The fact that there was no linear relation between M-d and the specific surface area suggests that the surface area was not directly reflected on M-d. A reciprocal correlation between photocatalytic activity for water oxidation in aqueous silver sulfate solution and M-d revealed that the rate of recombination is one of the predominant physical properties governing the activities of TiO2 powders in this reaction system.
