title: Water reduction with visible light: synergy between optical transitions and electron transfer in Au-TiO(2) catalysts visualized by in situ EPR spectroscopy.
abstract: Golden electrons: Visible light excites conduction electron transfer from gold particles to support vacancies where they are taken up by protons to produce hydrogen. This transfer process was visualized by in situ EPR spectroscopy.
