According to the CV curve, the reduction potential difference of peak a and b is 0.15 V, According to the CV curve, the reduction potential difference of peak a and b is 0.15 which is consistent with the theoretical decomposition potentials difference 0.14 V of the V, which is consistent with the theoretical decomposition potentials difference 0.14 V of reactions (4) and (8).

Due to the small theoretical decomposition potential difference, the two independent peaks a and b could be approximately regarded as one peak. Peaks a and b represent the reduction process from TiO2 to Ti2O3 by direct reduction or a step-by-step process with an electron transfer number of 1, and Ti4O7 reduced to Ti2O3 was also controlled by diffusion [25]. The electron transfer number of peak c was calculated to be 1.298, approximately 1. According to the electron transfer number, the diffusion coefficients of diffusion-controlled processes A, B, and C are 0.349 × 10−5 cm/s and 0.2352 × 10−4 cm/s, respectively. The formula is shown in Equation (4) [27]: 􏰃 αnFDo v 􏰄1/2 ip = 0.4958nAFCo RT (4) where iP is peak current density (A/cm2); Co, A, and Do represent the concentration of the reactants (mol/cm3), work electrode area (1.95465 cm2), and diffusion coefficient (cm2/s), respectively.
