摘要
The photocatalytic one-electron oxidation reaction of an aromatic compound during UV light irradiation of titania nanotubes and nanoparticles was investigated using time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Remarkably long-lived radical cations of the aromatic compound and trapped electrons were observed for the nanotubes when compared to those for nanoparticles. The influences of the morphology on the one-electron oxidation process of an aromatic compound adsorbed on the surface were discussed in terms of the charge recombination dynamics between the radical cation and electrons in TiO2.
