Elucidating the facet-dependent hydrogenation mechanism of black-TiO2 through in situ characterization
Abstract
In situ monitoring reveals facet-dependent hydrogenation kinetics of TiO2 nanocrystals by a diamond anvil cell: (100) > (101) > (001). The differences of the hydrogenation rate stem from anisotropic diffusion of oxygen vacancies (VO). VO introduction enhances electron transport and photoconductivity, demonstrating that surface termination governs the reaction dynamics.
