Usually, when a metal catalyst reacts with an oxygen molecule, the individual split oxygen atoms behave in identical ways. It seems that this is not the case when oxygen molecule interacts with titanium metal. When the two oxygen atoms get split up, one remains embedded into the titanium crystalline structure, while ... |
