Abstract

Superior activity of anatase TiO₂ towards photodegradation of a series of organic compounds is interpreted in terms of differences in the surface behaviour of anatase and rutile. Very stable surface peroxides are shown to be formed at the anatase during photo-oxidation reactions but to be absent from the rutile surface.
