Defects on TiO2—Key Pathways to Important Surface Processes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Defects at Oxide Surfaces

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 58))

Abstract

Defects govern most of the applications of TiO2 in the fields of catalysis, photocatalysis and photoelectronics. In this chapter we present a general introduction to defects in solids. We then present surface science studies of point defects in TiO2 and their influence on the chemistry and photochemistry behavior of TiO2. The principles illustrated for TiO2 apply also to other oxide-semiconductors and insulators.
