Evolution of adsorbates and photogenerated electrons produced during photocatalytic reactions on TiO₂ was studied by an IR site-poisoning technique. Hydroxyl group sites were identified to be responsible for photo-oxidation of ethanol to acetate and CO₂. Fundamental understanding of the ethanol reaction pathways could assist in the design of highly-efficient photocatalysists.
