Abstract: The study of mechanism of modified TiO2photocatalysts for photoreduction of CO2with surface photovoltage spectrum(SPS) was reported for the first time. The results showed that a new surface photovoltaic response band appears in the SPS curve of Pd/TiO2or Pd/RuO2/TiO2in near IRregion, moreover, the stronger SPS response intensity in near IRis, the higher the catalytic activities of photoreduction of CO2.The surface state plays a role in the process of photocatalysis.

Key words: Titanium dioxide, Photocatalyst, Surface photovoltage, Reduction of carbon dioxide
