Figure S15. SEM and HR-TEM images of. The TEM and HR-TEM images of TiO2-Pd1%, TiO2-Cu1% and TiO2-Mn1% are shown in Figure S13, S14 and S15, respectively. It is clear from the Figure S13 that the as-prepared samples consist of anatase nanoparticles with an average diameter of 1 nm, which is consistent with the XRD analysis. Moreover, some larger nanoparticles whose diameter is almost more than 5 nm are ascribed to rutile. For the HR-TEM images of TiO2-Pd1%, S7
TiO2-Cu1% and TiO2-Mn1%, A fringe spacing (d) of 3.52 Å, corresponding to the (11) plane of anatase TiO2 is observed for all samples, which suggests that the introduced Pd, Cu and Mn ions are not doped into the TiO2 lattice in the substitutional or interstitial mode. There is no other phase, such as PdO, CuO and MnO x observed in the TEM images. These TEM and HR-TEM images further demonstrate the introduced Pd, Cu and Mn ions are existing as unique surface O-Me-O species.

N2 adsorption isotherms and pore size distribution for TiO2-Pd, TiO2-Mn, TiO2-Cu and TiO2. This figure shows that the adsorption isotherm for all samples are similar and display hysteresis loops at relative pressures (P/P) close to unity, which can be categorized as type IV according to IUPAC classification. It is found that a pure size distribution in 6-9 nm range is observed for -Pd, -Mn, -Cu and samples. The nanoparticles agglomerate together, to form mesoporous microspheres with several hundreds of nanometers in length. This mesoporosity may be caused by the agglomeration of nanoparticles with an average size of 1-18 nm. As shown in SEM and TEM images, when the irregular global nanoparticles agglomerate together, the agglomeration results in the formation of porosity, whose diameter is almost half the nanoparticles.
