用光电子能谱的方法研究了甲醇/TiO2(110)界面的电子结构.在激发波长为400nm的双光子光电子能谱(2PPE)中,探测到了一个末态能量在费米能级以上5.5eV的共振信号.之前的研究[Chem.Sci.1,575(2010)]表明,这个共振信号与甲醇在5配位的钛离子(Ti5c)上的光催化解离相关.双光子光电子能谱同时携带初态和中间态的信息.为此设计了一个调谐激发光波长的2PPE实验以及一个单光子光电子能谱(1PPE)和2PPE对比的实验,结果一致表明这个共振信号来自于未占据的中间态,也就是激发态.能带色散关系测量表明这个激发态是局域的.时间分辨2PPE测得这个激发态的寿命是24fs.
The electronic structure of methanol/TiO2(ll0) interface has been studied by photoemis- sion spectroscopy. The pronounced resonance which appears at 5.5 eV above the Fermi level in two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (2PPE) is associated with the photocatalyzed dissociation of methanol at fivefold coordinated Ti sites (Ti5c) on TiO2 (110) surface [Chem- ical Science 1, 575 (2010)]. To check whether this resonance signal arises from initial or intermediate states, photon energy dependent 2PPE and comparison between one-photon photoemission spectroscopy and 2PPE have been performed. Both results consistently sug- gest the resonance signal originates from the initially unoccupied intermediate states, i.e., excited states. Dispersion measurements suggest the excited state is localized. Time-resolved studies show the lifetime of the excited state is 24 fs. This work presents comprehensive char- acterization of the excited states on methanol/TiO2(110) interface, and provides elaborate experimental data for the development of theoretical methods in reproducing the excited states on TiO2 surfaces and interfaces.
