In the absence of an electron acceptor and the presence of an electron donor, ultraviolet irradiation increased PA intensity because photoabsorption of the suspension increased due to trivalent titanium (Ti3+) species generated by electron accumulation in TiO2 particles. In contrast, the addition of methylene blue (MB) as an acceptor caused a decrease in PA intensity, indicating that accumulated electrons were consumed by reduction of MB to colorless leuco-MB. The results for various TiO2 particles indicated that Ti3+ density is determined by this method. Moreover, the measurement can be applicable to quantitative operando analysis for accumulated electrons in a photocatalytic reaction.}, pages = {222--226}, title = {Operando Analysis of Electron Accumulation in Titanium(IV) Oxide Particles in an Aqueous Suspension Using a Photoacoustic Spectroscopic Method}, volume = {123}, year = {2018}, yomi = {ムラカミ, ナオヤ} }
