VUV photocatalytic degradation of toluene in the gas phase
The photocatalytic degradation rate of gaseous toluene under irradiation of vacuum ultraviolet (185 nm) was 2-3 times faster than that under irradiation of 254 nm. The 185-nm VUV photolysis was greatly improved by the presence of TiO2 photocatalyst.
