Improvement of catalyst durability in benzene photooxidation by rhodium deposition on TiO2
Photacatalytic oxidation of benzene in air was carried out over TiO2 and metal-loaded TiO2 catalysts at room temperature. Deposition of Rh on TiO2 improved the catalyst durability by inhibiting the formation of carbon deposits on the catalyst sur face and accelerating their decomposition.
