摘要: Ultraviolet light-induced electron−hole pair excitations in anatase TiO2 powders were studied by a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy measurements. During continuous UV irradiation the mW.cm-2 range, photogenerated electrons are either trapped at localized sites, giving Ti3+ centers, or remain conduction band as EPR silent species which may be observed their IR absorption. Using low temperatures (90 K) to reduce rate recombination processes, exhibit lifetimes hours. The EPR-detected holes produced photoexcitation O- species, from lattice O2- ions. It is found that under high vacuum conditions, major fraction photoexcited remains band. At 298 K, all stable hole states lost TiO2. Defect sites oxygen removal during annealing produce spectrum identi...
