Facet-selective gold or platinum-nanoparticle deposition on decahedral-shaped anatase titania particles (DAPs) exposing {001} and {101} facets via photodeposition (PD) from metal-complex sources was reexamined using DAPs prepared with gas-phase reaction of titanium (IV) chloride and oxygen by quantitatively evaluating the area deposition density on {001} and {101} and comparing with the results of deposition from colloidal metal particles in the dark (CDD) or under photoirradiation (CDL). The observed facet selectivity, more or less {101} preferable, depended mainly on pH of the reaction suspensions and was almost non-selective at low pH regardless of the deposition method, PD or CDL, and the metal-source materials. Based on the results, the present authors propose that facet selectivity is attributable to surface charges (zeta potential) depending on the kind of facets, {001} and {101}, and pH of the reaction mixture and that this concept can explain the observed facet selectivity and possibly the reported facet selectivity without taking into account facet-selective reaction of photoexcited electrons and positive holes on {101} and {001} facets, respectively.

The photocatalytic activity of the α-Bi2O3/Bi heterostructure compositions obtained by the method of low-temperature pyrolysis of bismuth-sorbitol complexes was investigated. The effectiveness of catalysts is estimated by the rate of decomposition of methylene blue (MS) upon irradiation with light of the visible spectrum. The catalysts obtained by varying the amount of sorbitol in the composition of the precursor organo-mineral complex of bismuth and by varying the temperature of synthesis, differ in different contents of metallic Bi and have different degrees of defectiveness of the α-Bi2O3 crystal lattice. It is established that isothermal annealing of α Bi2O3/Bi compositions in air in the range of 400–600°C leads to relaxation of defects and an increase in the volume of the α-Bi2O3 crystal lattice. An increase in the annealing temperature to 550°С is accompanied by an increase in the catalytic activity of α-Bi2O3/Bi. However, at higher temperatures, degradation of the heterostructure occurs as a result of the oxidation of metallic bismuth, and the catalytic activity of the composition decreases.
