Activation of Water in Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis by Formation of Surface Hydrogen Bonds: An In Situ IR Spectroscopy Study

Abstract

The hole‐driving oxidation of titanium‐coordinated water molecules on the surface of TiO 2 is both thermodynamically and kinetically unfavorable. By avoiding the direct coordinative adsorption of water molecules to the surface Ti sites, the water can be activated to realize its oxidation. When TiO 2 surface is covered by the H‐bonding acceptor F, the first‐layer water adsorption mode is switched from Ti coordination to a dual H‐bonding adsorption on adjacent surface F sites. Detailed in situ IR spectroscopy and isotope‐labeling studies reveal that the adsorbed water molecules by dual H‐bonding can be oxidized to O 2 even in the absence of any electron scavengers. Combined with theoretical calculations, it is proposed that the formation of the dual H‐bonding structure can not only enable the hole transfer to the water molecules thermodynamically, but also facilitate kinetically the cleavage of OH bonds by proton‐coupled electron transfer process during water oxidation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
