Synthesis of new hollow nano-composite photocatalysts based yeast biomass has been considered as a future innovation technology to control air pollution. This work demonstrates that a green, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and facile hydrothermal carbonization route of low-cost and renewable yeast biomass used to fabricate natural doping N-colloidal carbon spheres (NCSs) as a hard template for hollow N-TiO2/MnO2. The presence of natural doping nitrogen serves as a stabilizer and reductant. Hence, the yeast provided a solid frame with deposits nitrogen to form the hybrid N/yeast precursor. The resulting NCSs were obtained by hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 6 h. The characterization was performed using SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis. It was found that the findings fully retained the morphology of the yeast cells and the size of the hollow spheres was about 1.5-2 mm. The results of catalytic test showed that the new hollow nanosphere NTiO2/ MnO2 possessed a higher photodegradation activity for gaseous formaldehyde under visible irradiation than the commercial TiO2, due to their higher surface area (160 m2 g-1), hollow structure and superior reducibility. Its catalytic efficiency was attained to be more than 90%, which is about 10 times higher than that of the conventional catalyst TiO2-P25.
