Excess Electrons at Oxide Surfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Defects at Oxide Surfaces

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

Abstract

Excess electrons profoundly affect the properties of oxide surfaces. The present review deals with excess charges on rutile and anatase. These much studied titania polymorphs open with strong prospects regarding (photo)catalysis and dye-sensitized solar cells. In the complex landscape of the mechanisms of electron trapping and electron transfer toward adsorbates, excess electrons open with flexible model systems which are the focus of an extensive research effort.
