Abstract
In order to expand the effective wavelength of TiO2 particulate photocataly st into the visible region, Ru-doped TiO2 particles were prepared and their properties as the photocatalyst were investigated. With this photocatalyst , the oxygen evolution reaction occurred by irradiation of visible light at wavelengths longer than 440 nm using iron(III) ions as the electron accept or. To clarify the mechanistic aspects of the effect of Ru-doping, photoele ctrochemical properties of Ru-doped TiO2 sinter electrodes were investigate d. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
