Ex situ observation of the recovery of the hydrogenated shell on TiO2 NPs. a–d Low magnification (top row) and high-resolution (second row) TEM images of dried TiO2 NPs after photocatalytic reaction with UV illumination in water for 0, 12, 16, and 24 h, respectively. Fourier transform (FT) patterns from the surface (third row) and internal bulk areas (fourth row) of the corresponding high-resolution TEM images in ad, showing the TiO2, Ti2O3, and TiO structures, respectively. e, f HAADF image for the dried TiO2 NPs after photocatlytic reactions in water (for 16 h). The EELS were acquired from the surface (red dot in e and red spectrum in f), and internal bulk (green dot in e, and the green curve in f)
