Figure 3. Superoxide (O2•-) generation from irradiated TiO2 in the presence of H2O2. (A) The time course of ESR spectrum during and after irradiation (365 nm) of TiO2 measured by EPR spin-trapping following the addition of H2O2 at time 0 and with DMPO as a spin trap. (B) Monitoring of the spin concentration of the O2•- generated from irradiated TiO2 (5 min) in the presence of H2O2. Each column represents the mean (n = 5). Experimental conditions are described in "MATERIALS & METHODS" and illustrated in Fig. 1.
