TiO2 Monolayer/Adsorption
Not what you're looking for?
In the article below, hydrated TiO2 surfaces are depicted. How can I determine (i.e. identify) a monolayer of (001) and (101) TiO2 in figure 1, and is "(1/3) ML" described in figure 1d referring to the coverage, the TiO2, or what?
How does one determine a monolayer in general? How is the monolayer of (101) and (001) determined?

TiO2 Monolayer/Adsorption
In the attached article, hydrated TiO2 surfaces are depicted. How can I determine (i.e. identify) a monolayer of (001) and (101) TiO2 in figure 1, and is "(1/3) ML" described in figure 1d referring to the coverage, the TiO2, or what?
How does one determine a monolayer in general? How is the monolayer of (101) and (001) determined?
I will raise the bid if this requires more research or work.
Difference between (001) and (101) planes of TiO2
In (001) plane, all Ti atoms on the surface are only 5 -fold coordinated, while the (101) surface contains rows of fully (6 -fold) coordinated and 5 -fold coordinated Ti atoms, constraining the orientation of adsorbed molecules.
What is 'ML' in this paper?
Good question! No where does the author specify what 'ML' stands for, although the full form should be given on the very first instance where it appears in the paper! What they wanted to mean by 'ML' is, 'monolayer'. So (1/3) ML means 1/3 rd surface coverage here.
What is monolayer, how do they form, and how are they measured?
A monolayer is a single, closely packed layer of atoms, ...

- "Thankyou for the feedback. I have a few question though; With the first statistic about cost below... “According to Sigma-Aldrich catalog, cost of 1L octane is AUD $ 392.00, whereas the cost of 1L ethanol is AUD $196.00. Moreover, if ethanol is obtained from sugar industry as a by-product, it may cost even less. Source of oxygen is ambient atmosphere, so it costs nothing. So ethanol is much cheaper than petrol, in fact it is half-priced: AUD $ (392-196) = $ 196.” I didn't think it made sense because the cost of petrol per litre is normally a dollar something or even less than a dollar not a couple of hundred of dollars. For example, a statistic that I found in america was: "U.S. ethanol production costs are about $1.20 per gallon of ethanol, or $1.82 per gallon on a gasoline-equivalent basis." However, I was wondering whether you could find an Australian statistic. Also, you mentioned that H20 is not a greenhouse gas. However, in the combustion equations it is actually carbon dioxide and water vapour which are produced and they are both greenhouse gases. Finally, how do I calculate the energy efficiency of ethanol and petrol? "
