Abstract	Understanding of the fundamentals behind charge carrier dynamics of photocatalytic materials is still illusive, hindering progress in our quest for renewable energy. TiO2 anatase and rutile are the most understood phases in photocatalysis and serve as the best model systems for fundamental studies. The ultrafast charge carrier dynamics, especially on TiO2 anatase single crystals (the most active phase), are unresolved. Here, femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy was carried out to explore the dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers’ recombination in the anatase single crystal, for the first time using pump fluence effects, and we compared it to that in the rutile single crystal. A significant difference in charge carrier recombination rates between both crystals is recorded. More specifically, we found that the time constants for carrier recombination are 2 orders of magnitude slower for anatase (101) when compared to those of rutile (110). Moreover, bulk defects introduced by reduction of the samples v...
