| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interfacial charge transfer (IFCT) is known to drive photocatalysis under visible light. However, its mechanism study is insufficient and its reactions are limited to the organic decomposition. Herein, the purpose of this study is to prove the IFCT mechanism clearer and to achieve the photocatalytic overall water splitting under visible light using the IFCT mechanism. Based on a well-defined thin film model sample, I successfully visualized the IFCT by Kelvin probe force microscopy. In addition, chemical reaction sites are also visualized by observing photo-deposited metal particles by atomic force microscopy. Further, we fabricated the Cu(II) nanoclusters-grafted TiO2 electrode and achieved its water splitting reaction under visible light.
