Photocatalytic Oxidation of a Volatile Organic Component of Acetaldehyde Using Titanium Oxide Nanotubes

Titanium oxide nanotubes are prepared and treated with Au (Au/nanotube sample) and Pt (Pt/nanotube sample), and the photoactivity of these catalysts compared to a standard Degussa P25 photocatalyst is investigated. The samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, field emission gun scanning trans...
