Photocatalytic Oxidation Thiophene Using Nano-TiO₂

Abstract

Photocatalytic oxidation of thiophene using Nano-TiO2 at ultraviolet lamp irradiation has been studied. The result showed thiophene was photooxidized successfully. First Nano-TiO2 powder with photocatalytic activity were prepared by sol-gel progress.Second the photo-degradation of thiophene on titanium dioxide was investigated.The reaction also features the photocatalytic activity of Nano-TiO2.
