%X The adsorption and subsequent photo-oxidation ofcarbon monoxide on the anatase TiO2(101) and rutile TiO2(110)single crystal surfaces was investigated using low temperature X-rayphotoelectron spectroscopy. Anatase was shown to significantlyoutperform rutile in terms of the rate of carbon dioxide yield onthe stoichiometric surface, and further to this, the presence ofdefects was shown to heavily influence the photocatalyticefficiency. The oxidation rate was reduced on anatase but increasedon rutile. This change is attributed to the location of defects withinthe crystal structure and is further discussed in this work. Thesefindings are of significant importance and demonstrate the possibilities of defect engineering in photocatalysis.
