ABSTRACT. The interfacial structure of water in contact with TiO2 is the key to understand the mechanism of photocatalytic water dissociation as well as photoinduced superhydrophilicity. We investigate the interfacial molecular structure of water at the surface of anatase TiO2, using phase sensitive sum frequency generation spectroscopy together with spectra simulation using ab-initio molecular dynamic trajectories. We identify two oppositely oriented, weakly and strongly hydrogen-bonded sub-ensembles of O-H groups at the superhydrophilic UV-irradiated TiO2 surface. The water molecules with weakly hydrogen bonded O-H groups are chemisorbed, i.e. form hydroxyl groups, at the TiO2 surface with their hydrogen atoms pointing towards bulk water. The strongly hydrogen-bonded O-H groups interact with the oxygen atom of the chemisorbed water. Their hydrogen atoms point towards the TiO2. This strong interaction between physisorbed and chemisorbed water molecules causes superhydrophilicity.

Owing to its photoinduced superhydrophilicity1 as well as the photocatalytic activity,2 TiO2 finds unique applications in self-cleaning surfaces and hydrogen generation through photocatalytic water dissociation. For these applications, the adsorption and arrangement of water molecules on the TiO2 surface is crucial. Therefore, water organization and dissociation on single crystalline TiO2 surfaces have been intensively examined with a variety of techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscope (STM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and contact angle measurements.3-9 These studies typically focus on adsorption of thin water layers on TiO2 at low water vapor pressure and at low temperatures (typically 170 K or less). However, these experimental conditions are far from the atmospheric pressure and near room temperature conditions under which TiO2 is commercially used. Moreover, the properties of a thin water layer are different from those of bulk water.7, 10-12 It is thus desirable to determine the properties of interfacial water on TiO2 in contact with bulk water.

In many experimental methods used in studying bulk water in contact with TiO2, a limiting factor is the overwhelming signal of bulk water compared to the signal from water at the interface. In contrast, vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG), owing to its selection rules, is an inherently surface sensitive tool,13 allowing for studying interfacial water molecules at the interface between TiO2 and bulk water with no bulk signal contribution. In particular, the OH stretching region of the SFG spectrum constitutes an ideal local probe for the strength of hydrogen bonding of the interfacial water molecules, since the OH stretch frequency is sensitive to the hydrogen bonding strength.14 Conventional SFG has revealed the pH dependence of the water configuration near the TiO2 surface15 as well as the effect of the UV illumination on the degree of ordering and amount of water at the TiO2 surface.16 However, the microscopic

structure of the UV illuminated TiO2/water interface such as the orientation of the interfacial water molecules and their hydrogen bond strength has not been clarified.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been used as a powerful tool to investigate the microscopic structure of water molecules in contact with TiO2.10,11, 17-24 The interfacial water structure has been shown to depend, using force field MD simulations, on the number of hydroxyl groups at the surface, which can be modified by pH or UV-irradiation.17 Recently, abinitio MD (AIMD) simulation, where the atomic forces are calculated within the density functional theory, was used to study the water configuration near TiO2 surfaces and its pH dependence.18,19 For example, AIMD simulation proposed that water molecules adsorb molecularly or dissociatively on specific biding sites at the anatase TiO2 surface.20 Although the conformational energies of the molecular vs. dissociated state of water molecule with their optimized structures has been discussed in the ab initio calculation21, 25,26, the MD technique allows us to explore the possible conformation at finite temperature. As such, AIMD provides the microscopic picture under the thermal fluctuation. Nevertheless, AIMD results have not been well examined through the comparison with experiments at the TiO2/water interface.

In this study, by combining phase sensitive (heterodyne-detected) SFG measurements with AIMD-SFG simulation, we connect the microscopic structure of the TiO2/water interface to SFG features. Our results reveal that the superhydrophilic nature of anatase TiO2 arises from the chemisorbed hydroxyl groups on the TiO2 surface having weakly donating hydrogen (H)-bonds. In contrast, the physisorbed water molecules at the topmost layer are strongly H-bonded to the anatase TiO2 surface.

A polycrystalline TiO2 film with a thickness of 1.5 µm was deposited on a pre-cleaned CaF2 window by spin coating. The Raman spectrum of the deposited TiO2 sample after calcination at 500 °C, presented in Error! Reference source not found.(a), contains peaks at ~399 cm-1, ~518 cm-1 and ~639 cm-1 indicating the formation of anatase TiO2.27 The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the sample presented in Figure S1(a) shows that the TiO2 layer consists of 50-200 nm globular particles. Before each SFG measurement the TiO2-coated CaF2 was cleaned in an UV-ozone cleaner for 20 minutes and immediately put in contact with a 2 mm thick water layer (with selected H2O:D2O ratio) in a homemade cell which was sealed using another CaF2 window (Figure 2(a)). The TiO2 surface shows hydrophobic nature before UVradiation (contact angle of ~54°), while it becomes superhydrophilic afterwards (contact angle ~0°), as seen in Error! Reference source not found.(b) and (c). All SFG measurements are performed on the UV irradiated surface. The cleanliness of the TiO2 surface after UV-ozone cleaning was examined by SFG measurements in the C-H stretching region; no spectral signature for hydrocarbon contamination was observed (Figure S1(b)).

To study the water orientation and H-bonding strength, we measured SFG spectra of water in contact with TiO2. As neat water SFG spectra in the OH stretching region are quite complicated due to the presence of inter- and intra- molecular coupling,28 we performed SFG measurements for neat as well as isotopic diluted water. In isotopic diluted water the coupling effects are reduced. Details of the SFG setup are provided in the Supporting Information. The obtained spectra from the TiO2/water interface were normalized to the SFG signal from a gold-coated

CaF2 window located at the same position as the sample. Figure 2(b) displays measured conventional (homodyne detected) SFG spectra obtained from the TiO2/water interface for pure H2O, pure D2O and mixtures of H2O and D2O. The data were corrected for isotope-dependent Fresnel factors, following reference 29 (See Supporting Information). The spectrum of pure H2O (black curve in Figure 2(b)) exhibits two spectral features centered at ~3200 cm-1 and ~3450 cm-1. Upon decreasing the H2O:D2O ratio, the shape of the spectra changes dramatically, i.e. the lower frequency peak is blue shifted and the intensity of both peaks is lowered. Such changes in the SFG spectra upon isotopic dilution indicate a strong coupling between O-H groups of interfacial water molecules. Similar shifts to higher frequency has been observed in an ATRFTIR experiment of isotopic diluted water adsorbed on a TiO2 film.30

To obtain information about the orientation of water molecules at the TiO2/water interface, we performed phase resolved SFG measurements on 100% H2O and 50% H2O: 50% D2O (hereafter referred to as 50% H2O) in contact with TiO2. Analysis of the 50% H2O case is simpler as interand intramolecular coupling are reduced.31 Phase resolved SFG allows for determination of the Reχ  and Imχ  .32 Of particular interest is the sign of Imχ  , which reflects the orientation of the transition dipole moments.33 Details of the phase sensitive SFG setup as well as the phase correction procedure are provided in the Supporting Information and in reference 34.

As is evident from Figure 2(c), for both 100% and 50% H2O, Imχ  is positive at the low frequency side of the spectrum, passes through zero around 3200 cm-1, and becomes negative for higher frequency. The positive sign of Imχ  at low frequency indicates that strongly hydrogen bonded O-H groups are pointing with their transition dipole moments away from the bulk water (i.e. with the H atom towards the TiO2), while the negative sign of Imχ  at higher frequencies

shows that the transition dipole moments of weakly hydrogen bonded O-H groups are aligned toward the bulk water. As shown in Figure 2(d), reconstructed SFG intensity spectra (solid lines) from phase resolved measurements show perfect agreement with the conventional SFG spectra measured under identical circumstances (dotted curves).

Indeed, with a positive amplitude for the low frequency mode and a negative amplitude for the high frequency mode, all intensity SFG spectra of Figure 2(b) can be well described with the Equation:

ANR and φNR represent magnitude and phase of the non-resonant susceptibility and An, ωn, Гn, and ωIR are the amplitude, vibrational transition frequency, linewidth of mode n, and the IR laser frequency, respectively. See the Supporting Information for details of fitting.

To relate the 3100 cm-1 positive and 3400 cm-1 negative SFG features to the microscopic structure of water, we ran AIMD simulations of water in contact with a non-hydroxylated anatase (101) surface with the CP2K software35 and simulated the SFG spectra at the BLYP/DZVP level of theory with the Grimme’s van der Waals (D3) corrections.36 The choice of BLYP/DZVP+D3 level of theory arises from the fact that this combination can reproduce both the surface tension37 and SFG spectra38 accurately. Furthermore, the absorption energy calculation of water on rutile TiO2 surface demonstrated that the van der Waals corrections are essential for reproducing the water conformation (molecular state vs. dissociated) on the TiO2 surface.39 We compared the (101) surface with the experimental polycrystalline film, as the (101)

surface is thermodynamically the most stable facet.40 We simulated the SFG spectra with the autocorrelation function based on the velocity-velocity correlation function scheme.38 Details of the simulation protocols are given in the Supporting Information.

Depth dependent SFG spectra of the O-H stretch chromophores near the non-hydroxylated surface are shown in Figure 3(a), while Figure 3(b) displays the snapshot of the AIMD trajectory. The simulated SFG spectra show that the amplitude of Imχ  is maximized when the O-H groups are within the first 4 Å from the topmost Ti layer. The TiO2 anatase surface generates a strong ordering of water O-H groups within the first 4 Å, with a net orientation towards TiO2. In contrast, by including OH groups located further from the surface in the SFG response, the SFG amplitude is reduced. This manifests that the sequential water layers point to the bulk water, consistent with a previous simulation study.20 The spectra converge around 6 Å from the surface, illustrating that the topmost ~1 nm water layer contributes to the SFG signal which is in agreement with previous classical force field studies.17 The dipole orientations are discussed in the Supporting Information.

However, the simulated Imχ  spectrum at the non-hydroxylated TiO2/water interface does not reproduce the experimentally obtained 3100 cm-1 positive and 3400 cm-1 negative SFG features (Figure 2(c)), demonstrating that the simulated non-hydroxylated TiO2 surface is not representative of the experimentally examined surface. In fact, previous studies have suggested that the TiO2 surface after UV irradiation exhibits a superhydrophilic nature, which was tentatively attributed to TiO2 hydroxylation upon UV irradiation or to the TiO2 mediated photo oxidation and removal of hydrocarbons.30, 41-44 To assess whether surface hydroxyls can affect the SFG response we also simulated the hydroxylated TiO2 surface and calculated the

The AIMD simulated spectra for water in contact with a hydroxylated anatase surface are shown in Figure 3(c), while Figure 3(d) shows the schematic of the hydroxylated TiO2/water interface. The simulated spectrum evidences that the H-up water molecule H-bonded to the surface hydroxyl group (O-H…Ob) of physisorbed water molecules results in a positive SFG response at low frequency, while the H-down hydroxyl group (Ti5v-Ob-H) of chemisorbed water molecules gives rise to a negative high frequency SFG feature. Note that the broad negative peak at high frequencies indicates that the Ti5v-Ob-H group exhibits a very inhomogeneous, yet relatively weak donating H-bond interaction with other water molecules. The first layer of water molecules has strong H-bond donors as concluded from the low frequency of the O-H…Ob signal. The simulated spectra of the hydroxylated surface are in very good agreement with the experimentally measured SFG spectra. This similarity suggests that the effect of defects present in the TiO2 sample used in the experiments on water adsorption and structure is negligible. Our AIMD simulation indicates that the O-H groups of the physisorbed water molecules H-bonded to the

chemisorbed water show a vibrational signature at 3100 cm-1. This frequency is very low compared to hydrogen bonded water at the water-air interface which has its O-H stretch vibrational signature at ~3400 cm-1 for isotopically diluted water.45 This indicates that the interactions between the water molecules chemisorbed on TiO2 to the Ti-OH groups is stronger than the water-water interaction in the bulk, driving the TiO2 surface superhydrophilicity.

In conclusion, phase resolved SFG measurements at the superhydrophilic TiO2/water interface show both positive and negative features in the Imχ  signal in the O-H stretching region indicating OH groups residing at the TiO2 surface with opposite orientation of their dipole moments. The AIMD simulations on a hydroxylated surface revealed that the O-H groups of the physisorbed water molecules contribute to a positive SFG feature at 3100 cm-1, while the O-H

groups of the chemisorbed water molecules contribute to a ~3500 cm-1 negative SFG feature. These physisorbed water molecules are strongly H-bonded to the chemisorbed water molecules via the oxygen atom of chemisorbed water molecules (Ob atom). The superhydrophilicity of the TiO2 surface thus arises from the strong H-bonding interaction between chemisorbed and physisorbed water molecules.
