Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Novel kinetic equation was proposed to explain all the observed light-intensity dependence for photocatalytic oxygen evolution by suspended titania particles in which the reaction proceed only when multiple positive holes are accumulated within their lifetime. Related to this mechanism, "effective particle size", which shows the size of a particle or its aggregate allowing accumulation and multiple hole transfer at the same time, is proposed as a novel concept. The mechanism of enhancement of reaction rate by loading so-call co-catalysts, such as cobalt phosphate and iridium oxide, was analyzed by the light-intensity dependences to show there are at least two kinds of mechanisms.
