Abstract: Double-beam photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy was employed in measurements on the decay of trivalent titanium (Ti3+) species, in titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2) photocatalysts, produced by trapping of photoexcited electrons. The PA signal attributed to Ti3+ rapidly decayed in the dark due to the electron transfer from Ti3+ to molecular oxygen (O2) adsorbed on the surface. The rate of decay was evaluated for various TiO2 powders by the analysis of decay profile, and compared with the rate of photocatalytic dehydrogenation of methanol in an aqueous solution. The observed positive correlation between them suggests that both decay of Ti3+ by O2 and photocatalytic dehydrogenation of methanol are governed by the mobility of photoexcited electrons.
