While its mechanism on TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    has been extensively studied under ultra\u2010high\u2010vacuum (UHV) conditions, the reaction pathway under ambient, liquid\u2010phase environments remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the photocatalytic decomposition of methanol on rutile TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    (110) following direct adsorption from liquid solution by combining surface\u2010sensitive sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. SFG measurements identify methoxy as the dominant surface species under these conditions. DFT calculations reveal that cooperative hydrogen\u2010bonding interactions stabilize both the transition state and the dissociated configuration, leading to a systematic reduction in activation barriers. Concurrently, localized excess charge facilitates proton transfer through dynamic redistribution along the reaction coordinate, thereby lowering the barrier for O\u2500H bond cleavage and stabilizing reaction intermediates. Under resonant bandgap excitation, methoxy undergoes structural reorientation followed by oxidation to form a stable surface hydroxymethyl species. DFT calculations further demonstrate that interfacial water and hydroxyl groups stabilize localized charge carriers, reduce activation barriers, and promote proton\u2010coupled electron transfer. These findings provide molecular\u2010level insight into the role of interfacial hydration in governing photocatalytic reaction pathways at oxide\u2013liquid interfaces.\n
