英文摘要 | Anatase:rutile TiO2 junctions are often shown to be more photocatalytically active than anatase or rutile alone, but the underlying cause of this improvement is not fully understood. Herein, we employ transient absorption spectroscopy to study hole transfer across the anatase:rutile heterojunction in films as a function of phase composition. By exploiting the different signatures in the photoinduced absorption of trapped charges in anatase and rutile, we were able to separately track the yield and lifetime of holes in anatase and rutile sites within phase composites. Photogenerated holes transfer from rutile to anatase on submicrosecond time scales. This hole transfer can significantly increase the anatase hole yield, with a 20:80 anatase:rutile composite showing a 5-fold increase in anatase holes observed from the microsecond. Hole transfer does not result in an increase in charge-carrier lifetime, where an intermediate recombination dynamic between that of pure anatase (t(1/2) approximate to 0.5 ms) and rutile (t(1/2) approximate to 20 ms) is found in the anatase:rutile junction (412 approximate to 4 ms). Irrespective of what the formal band energy alignment may be, we demonstrate the importance of trap-state energetics for determining the direction of photogenerated charge separation across heterojunctions and how transient absorption spectroscopy, a method that can specifically track the migration of trapped charges, is a useful tool for understanding this behavior. |
