Abstract:
The comparison of the photocatalytic efficiency of different commercial TiO2 samples towards the degradation
of two model VOC gases, acetone and isopropanol, as a function of the nano/micro-size of the semiconductor
is here reported. In particular, we chose to work with all TiO2 commercial powdered samples both as photocatalytic
material and simple pigments, to verify the importance of both particles dimension and surface –OH
terminations on the photocatalytic efficiency and the possibility to use materials cheaper but mainly free from
any drawbacks on human health coming from the nano-structure.
