The surface-structure sensitivity of dioxygen activation in the anatase-photocatalyzed oxidation reaction.

The reaction pathways by which oxygen is incorporated into the substrate in the photocatalytic oxidation of terephthalic acid (TPTA) are vastly different on {001} and {101} facets of an anatase single crystal. This was established by controlling the percentage of {101} and {001} facets, isotopically tracing the origins of the hydroxy group, and studying dioxygen consumption and variance in the concentration of hydroxylation intermediate.
