TiO is the most investigated photocatalyst because of its nontoxicity, low cost, chemical stability, and strong photooxidative ability. Because of the morphology- and structure-dependent photocatalytic properties of TiO, accurate characterization of the crystal and electronic structures of TiO-based materials and their performance during the photocatalytic process is crucial not only for understanding the photocatalytic mechanism but also for providing experimental guidelines as well as a theoretical framework for the synthesis of high performance photocatalysts. In this review, we focused on the advanced characterization techniques that are utilized in the studies on the TiO structures and photocatalytic performance of TiO and TiO-based materials. It is therefore anticipated that this review can provide a novel perspective to understand the fundamental aspects of photocatalysis and inspire the development of new photocatalysts with superior performances.
TiO 是研究最多的光催化剂，因为它具有无毒、低成本、化学稳定性和强的光氧化能力。由于 TiO 的形态和结构依赖性光催化性能，准确表征 TiO 基材料的晶体和电子结构及其在光催化过程中的性能不仅对于理解光催化机制至关重要，而且对于提供实验指导以及合成高性能光催化剂的理论框架也至关重要。在本综述中，我们重点介绍了用于研究 TiO 结构和 TiO 基材料光催化性能的先进表征技术。因此，可以预期，本综述可以为理解光催化的基本方面提供新的视角，并激发具有优异性能的新型光催化剂的发展。
