It is known that steam treatment converts the titania structure from amorphousness to crystalline. In the present study, such change is found to increase the rate of the photoinduced electron transfer from and to dispersed fluorescein dye molecules.}, isbn = {1932-7447}, doi = {10.1021/jp072625q}, author = {Nishikiori, H. and Qian, Wei and El-Sayed, Mostafa A and Tanaka, N. and Fujii, T.} }
