25. 2+ in the solution.
26. To detect diffraction peaks from a very thin film of anatase, we conducted glancing incidence XRD at a constant incident angle of 0.8° using Cu Kα radiation operated at 40 kV and 400 mA. The obtained profile is shown in the inset of Figure 3.
27. ITO films coated on quartz glass were employed as substrates in preparation of the anatase electrodes because ITO substrate for normal glass may not be stable upon annealing at 600 °C. XRD data suggested that ITO films themselves remained unchanged, although the sheet resistance increased from 10 to 30 Ω/□.

39. The reason for the linear relationships between the absorbance change at 275 nm and the applied potential is not still clear, but it may be related with the density of states of electrons in the titania nanosheets.
