Rutile TiO2particles were partly dissolved into aqueous solutions of H2SO4, and the Ti4+ions were reprecipitated by adding NH3aq. Rutile–anatase coupled TiO2particles were prepared by heating the solid recovered after centrifugation of the suspension. The content of anatase (cA, wt%) could be controlled arbitrarily by changing the dissolved amount of rutile. The photocatalytic activity for the gas-phase oxidation of acetaldehyde was evaluated. The first-order rate constant, k, strongly depended on both cAand heating temperature (Tc), increasing with an increase in Tcat Tc⩽800°C. The sample with cA=0.5 wt% prepared at Tc=800°C exhibited a much higher level of activity (k=0.94 h−1m−2) than those of pure rutile (k=0.08 h−1m−2) and anatase (k=0.34 h−1m−2). This remarkable enhancing effect was explained mainly in terms of photoinduced interfacial electron transfer from anatase to rutile.
