Abstract
The adsorption and dissociation of phosgene (COCl2) molecules on three kinds of rutile TiO2(110) surfaces (stoichiometric: TiO2-Sto; oxygen defective: TiO2-Ov; and substoichiometric: TiO1.875) were investigated based on density functional theory calculations. The nature of interactions between the COCl2 molecule and rutile TiO2(110) surfaces with different degrees of reduction was researched by the analysis of geometries, electron density difference, adsorption energies and density of states (DOS). Computational results show that COCl2 indicates instability and will dissociate directly without the presence of transition states on a substoichiometric TiO1.875(110) surface. The adsorption and dissociation behavior of COCl2 on the rutile surface is not only helpful in providing theoretical support for the clean and efficient degradation of COCl2, but also helpful in elucidating the role of COCl2 as an intermediate product in the carbochlorination of titanium ore.

Abstract
Chemical reactions catalyzed under heterogeneous conditions have recently expanded rapidly from traditional thermal catalysis to photocatalysis due to the rising concerns about sustainable development of energy and the environment. Adsorption of reactants on catalyst surfaces, subsequent surface reactions, and desorption of products from catalyst surfaces occur in both thermal catalysis and photocatalysis. TiO2 catalysts are widely used in thermal catalytic and photocatalytic reactions. Herein we review recent progress in surface chemistry, thermal catalysis and photocatalysis of TiO2 model catalysts from single crystals to nanocrystals with the aim of examining if the surface chemistry of TiO2 can bridge the fundamental understanding between thermal catalysis and photocatalysis. Following a brief introduction, the structures of major facets exposed on TiO2 catalysts, including surface reconstructions and defects, as well as the electronic structure and charge properties, are firstly summarized; then the recent progress in adsorption, thermal chemistry and photochemistry of small molecules on TiO2 single crystals and nanocrystals is comprehensively reviewed, focusing on manifesting the structure-(photo)activity relations and the commonalities/differences between thermal catalysis and photocatalysis; and finally concluding remarks and perspectives are given.

Abstract
The number of excess electrons (NEE), as a descriptor, perfectly reproduces the OER volcano curve of TiO2(110) plotted using ΔGO – ΔGOH.
The development of a universal activity descriptor like the d-band model for transition metal catalysts is of great importance to catalyst design. However, due to the complicated electronic structures of metal oxides, the correlation of the binding energies of reaction intermediates (*OH, *O, and *OOH) in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with experimentally controllable properties of metal oxides has not been well established. Here we demonstrate that excess electrons are the essential factor that governs the binding properties of intermediates on the surfaces of reducible metal oxides. We propose that the number of excess electrons (NEE) is an essential activity descriptor toward the OER activities of these oxides, which perfectly reproduces the volcano curve plotted using the descriptor ΔGO – ΔGOH, so that tuning NEE can effectively tailor the OER activities of reducible metal oxide based catalysts. Guided by this descriptor, we predict a novel non-precious catalyst with an overpotential of 0.54 eV, which could be a potential alternative to current Ru or Ir based catalysts.

Abstract
The adsorption and photochemistry of CO on rutile TiO2(110) are studied with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), temperature-programmed desorption, and angle-resolved photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) at low temperatures. Site occupancies, when weighted by the concentration of each kind of adsorption site on the reduced surface, show that the adsorption probability is the highest for the bridging oxygen vacancies (VO). The probability distribution for the different adsorption sites corresponds to very small differences in CO adsorption energies (<0.02 eV). UV irradiation stimulates diffusion and desorption of CO at low temperature. CO photodesorbs primarily from the vacancies with a bimodal angular distribution, indicating some scattering from the surface, which also leads to photostimulated diffusion. Hydroxylation of VO's does not significantly change the CO PSD yield or the angular distribution, which suggests that photodesorption can be initiated by recombination of photogenerated holes with excess electrons localized near the charged point defect (either VO or bridging hydroxyl).

Scenarios of polaron-involved molecular adsorption on reduced TiO 2(110) surfaces. Sci Rep 2017; 7:6148.

Abstract
The polaron introduced by the oxygen vacancy (Vo) dominates many surface adsorption processes and chemical reactions on reduced oxide surfaces. Based on IR spectra and DFT calculations of NO and CO adsorption, we gave two scenarios of polaron-involved molecular adsorption on reduced TiO2(110) surfaces. For NO adsorption, the subsurface polaron electron transfers to a Ti:3d-NO:2p hybrid orbital mainly on NO, leading to the large redshifts of vibration frequencies of NO. For CO adsorption, the polaron only transfers to a Ti:3d state of the surface Ti5c cation underneath CO, and thus only a weak shift of vibration frequency of CO was observed. These scenarios are determined by the energy-level matching between the polaron state and the LUMO of adsorbed molecules, which plays a crucial role in polaron-adsorbate interaction and related catalytic reactions on reduced oxide surfaces.
