摘要：The electronic structure of methanol/TiO2（ll0） interface has been studied by photoemis- sion spectroscopy. The pronounced resonance which appears at 5.5 eV above the Fermi level in two-photon photoemission spectroscopy （2PPE） is associated with the photocatalyzed dissociation of methanol at fivefold coordinated Ti sites （Ti5c） on TiO2 （110） surface [Chem- ical Science 1, 575 （2010）]. To check whether this resonance signal arises from initial or intermediate states, photon energy dependent 2PPE and comparison between one-photon photoemission spectroscopy and 2PPE have been performed. Both results consistently sug- gest the resonance signal originates from the initially unoccupied intermediate states, i.e., excited states. Dispersion measurements suggest the excited state is localized. Time-resolved studies show the lifetime of the excited state is 24 fs. This work presents comprehensive char- acterization of the excited states on methanol/TiO2（110） interface, and provides elaborate experimental data for the development of theoretical methods in reproducing the excited states on TiO2 surfaces and interfaces.
