It is widely believed that colored TiO 2 materials (yellow, blue, black, violet, etc.) are visible-
light active photocatalysts. In this article, we verify this claim with respect to the yellow TiO 2 …

Carbon contamination is a notorious issue that has an enormous influence on surface
science experiments, especially in near-atmospheric conditions. While it is often mentioned …

Earth-abundant oxides are promising candidates as effective and low-cost catalysts for the
oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, which remains one of the bottlenecks in …

Several methods for the synthesis of anatase TiO 2 have been reported in the literature. In
particular, the microwave-assisted hydrothermal crystallization of Ti-peroxocomplexes has …

TiO 2 semiconductor plays a paramount important as an active photocatalyst mainly due to
its photo-induced electron transfer properties. The metastable anatase in particular are …

The chemical state of a catalyst in operando is particularly important for catalysts that target
minority species, such as atmospheric CO2 which has a concentration of only 400 ppm. A …

Solution-deposited phosphonic acids, O P (OH) 2R, have been used to impart new
functionality to a variety of metal oxide surfaces for applications ranging from organic field …

Fluorine has been widely reported to improve the photoreactivity of TiO2 nanocrystals, but
surface science studies of this enhancement have been stymied by the lack of well …

Bismuth titanate with sillenite structure (Bi 12 TiO 20) was prepared at lower temperatures
and shorter times using a modified oxidant peroxide method (OPM). Bi 12 TiO 20 was …

High-quality, self-assembled benzoate monolayers were synthesized on rutile (110) using
simple aqueous reactions. Sputtering and annealing cycles, which create surface and …
