Insights into Different Photocatalytic Oxidation Activities of Anatase, Brookite, and Rutile Single-Crystal Facets

Abstract: For the understanding of the activity of TiO2 photocatalysts, knowledge of the activities of different crystal facets is necessary. This information can be achieved by the investigation of well-defined single-crystalline TiO2 surfaces. In this study, the photocatalytic activity of different anatase, brookite, and rutile single-crystal wafers with only one exposed surface has been investigated via the oxidation of methanol and the hydroxylation of terephthalic acid, respectively. X-ray diffraction, atomic force… Show more

“…Fujishima and Honda described in 1972 the photoelectrochemical splitting of water over TiO 2 electrodes . Since then, many studies have investigated the photocatalytic properties of TiO 2 , not only in powdered form but also as single crystals and films . The application of such materials goes beyond photocatalysis, finding use as gas sensors, in solar cells, or as biomedical coatings …”

“…Meanwhile, catalytic performance of TiO 2 ‐based catalysts has been correlated with the percentage of a particular TiO 2 phase. Anatase‐rich titanium dioxide is more active comparative to rutile and brookite for the oxidation of methanol . High ethylene selectivity in selective acetylene hydrogenation was achieved over TiO 2 samples with 0–44 % rutile phase .…”

“…Anatase-rich titanium dioxide is more active comparative to rutile and brookite for the oxidation of methanol. [5] High ethylene selectivity in selective acetylene hydrogenation was achieved over TiO 2 samples with 0-44 % rutile phase. [6] Therefore the accurate calculation of the fraction of different phases in the titanium dioxide mixture is important in developing the structure-activity relationship for catalysis applications.…”

“…[24][25][26][27] Photocatalytic activity of metal oxides is highly dependent on the exposed crystal facets in addition to their specific surface area, composition, and crystal size. [28][29][30][31] The crystal-face dependences of adsorption affinity and reactivity have been studied on TiO2 nanocrystals, microcrystals, and mesocrystals systematically by changing the ratio of the exposed crystal facets. [32][33][34][35] It is nowadays widely accepted that the {001} and {101} facets of anatase TiO2 are more favorable for oxidation and reduction reactions, respectively.…”
