“…Navidpour et al [21] present a review of the photocatalytic processes and the mechanisms, reaction kinetics, and optical and electrical properties of semiconductors, and the unique characteristics of titanium as the most widely used photocatalyst; and compare the photocatalytic activity between different titania phases (anatase, rutile, and brookite) and between colorful and white TiO 2 nanoparticles. Haketa et al [22] designed novel Au nano-particle catalysts immobilized on both titanium(IV)-and alkylthiol-functionalized SBA-15 type mesoporous silicates. The combination of Au nano-particle catalysts and other species that activate H 2 O 2 served as an aerobic oxidation catalyst applicable to various substrates, including alkenes and alkanes.…”
