Abstract
Organic molecules are partially oxidized in that the gas phase on supported and immobilized photocatalysts deposited having a nanostructure. the photocatalysts are semiconductors such as titanium dioxide and are preferentially coated onto a substrate by flame aerosol coating.
Claims10
A photocatalyst for partial oxidation reactions comprising a semiconductor that has been deposited from a coating precursor onto a substrate by flame aerosol deposition to form a nanostructured film.
