摘要
We propose a new simple method for characterizing photocatalytic activity by measuring photo-generated transient charge separation at the surface of semiconductor photocatalysts. In this method, the charge separation generated by a pulse dye laser is obtained as a function of the incident laser energy. Using this method, the photocatalytic activity and the type of surface reaction (reduction or oxidation) in titanium dioxide films were rapidly determined.
