摘要: Photocatalysis has widespread applications from solar cells to photolithography. We studied the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 films thicknesses down 2 nm, grown on n-type and p-type silicon wafers, using oxidation isopropanol as a model system. Direct in vacuo mass spectrometry measurements were performed under irradiation above bandgap. present consistent with our experimental results, which indicate that only near-surface electron-hole pair generation is relevant reaction rate can be controlled by varying substrate Fermi level going silicon, approximately factor 2.
