Benchmarking the Catalytic Performance of Rutile via Crystallinity Engineering in Au/TiO <sub>2</sub> -Catalyzed H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> Photogeneration
photoproduction activity in comparison to that of the tested commercial P25 and commercial anatase references. Besides, Au particles with 6 nm diameter and a narrow size distribution are found to be better cocatalysts. This work provides novel perspectives for the rational design of effective photocatalysts, highlighting the critical role of generalized model material systems.
