摘要
Understanding the processes of charge generation, transfer and capture is important for the design and synthesis of efficient photocatalysts. In this work, light-induced charge separation and effect of O2 on electron transfer processes in SrTiO3 were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It was found that photoinduced electron transfer from O2− to Ti4+ produced Ti3+ and O− redox radical pairs under vacuum condition. Under oxygen atmosphere, however, surface bound superoxide radicals O2− were formed by electron reduction of adsorbed oxygen at initial photoirradiation stage, and quenched by the reverse electron transfer to Ti4+ upon further photoirradiation. Formation of long-lived charge separation associated [Ti3+---O−] species and the reversibility of surface bound superoxide radicals mediating the processes of photogenerated electrons may be accountable for the high activity of SrTiO3 in photocatalytic water splitting reaction.
