Turning Waste into Useful Products by Photocatalysis with Nanocrystalline TiO<sub>2</sub> Thin Films: Reductive Cleavage of Azo Bond in the Presence of Aqueous Formate
UV-photoexcitation of TiO<sub>2</sub> in contact with aqueous solutions of azo dyes does not imply only its photocatalytic degradation, but the reaction fate of the dye depends on the experimental conditions. In fact, we demonstrate that the presence of sodium formate is the switch from...
