SummarySummary
1. O2-Mediated vacancy diffusion on TiO2(110) is observed by STM.
2. The mechanism proposed is incorrect since isotopic exchange does not occur from lattice oxygen to molecular oxygen.
3. Single Question: What other O2-mediated models can be imagined?

Summary
• Charge carrier dynamics monitored by quantitatively studying a simple model photoreaction – O2 photodesorption.
• F rate law found – caused by second-order e-h recombination kinetics.
• Artificial enhancement of hole trapping by adding CH3OH – a hole trap molecule.

Anisotropy in the Bulk Resistivity of TiO2(110) Crystal –Four-point Probe Measurements at 300 K
Summary and Conclusions:
•Charge clouds surrounding surface oxygen vacancies combine to form a percolation network for electron transport across the surface causing a decrease in the efficiency of photodesorption of O2.
•A kinetic analysis of the O2 photodesorption process reveals that the rate coefficient for photodesorptionchanges by a factor of > 100 over ~ 250 seconds.
•Electron transport across the surface is likely to be one-dimensional, based on the fractal analysis. Significant anisotropy in conduction through TiO2 has been observed in bulk measurements.

Problems with Existing Understanding of the UV-Induced Hydrophilicity Phenomena on TiO2
All current contact angle measurements have been
made in the ambient atmosphere on surfaces which
are not atomically clean. Hydrocarbon (and other
organic contamination) effects are uncontrolled.
Problem needs a clean surface-ultrahigh vacuum
approach and atomic resolution of surface atoms.

What Have We Learned?What Have We Learned?
Photochemistry on semiconductors occurs by e-hpair production in the substrate, accompanied by charge transfer to adsorbed species
Defect sites are important- On surface for adsorption of molecules- In bulk-promoting charge-carrier recombination
Second-order e-h recombination can give F dependence of photochemical kinetics
Hole traps reduce photochemical efficiency
Fractal photodesorption kinetics – controlled by anisotropy in crystal electrical conductivity
1/2hυ
EPR – detects e & h states sensitivelye = Ti3+
h = O-
IR detects CB electrons – delocalization gives continuous optical absorption in IR region
Hydrophilicity induced by UV on TiO2 – caused by photooxidation of organic layers in equilibrium with hydrocarbons in atmosphere, causing cleanup of TiO2 surfaces
Don’t believe STM images unless you know you have chemical control
