Abstract

Transition-metal-oxide as a typical model surface for investigating the catalytic mechanism has been widely studied. Over the past years, the TiO ₂properties have been reported. It is commonly accepted that the catalytic activity of reduced TiO ₂is related to its defects, with the accompanying excess electrons leading to n-type conductivity. It is realized that subsurface charge is of key importance for the redox chemistry of TiO ₂(110). Subsurface charge is explored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Subsurface charge exerts an additional attractive force on the scanning AFM tip, resulting in the relative retraction of tip motion in order to keep a constant frequency shift. As a result, the subsurface charged region is imaged as protrusion in an AFM topographic image. The height of bright hillock is mainly distributed in three different ranges, which means that the subsurface charges are at three different subsurface layers. The AFM results show such subsurface charges repel the electropositive oxygen vacancy, hydrogen atoms and step edges. It is obvious that there is not only an O _vdepletion zone but also the subsurface charge free region in the proximity of the $\left\langle {001} \right\rangle $ and $\left\langle {1\bar 11} \right\rangle$ step edge. The KPFM image indicates that the subsurface charges are the positive charges. which is consistent with common sense. After oxygen exposure, it is found that the oxygen adatom is electronegative, but it is absent in the vicinity of positive subsurface charges. Irrespective of adsorbate being electropositive or electronegative, an adsorbate-free zone generally exists in the proximity of the charged region. Obviously, the present study is expected to provide some insights into clarifying the nature of subsurface charge and improving catalytic design.
