Synergic effect of simultaneous fluorination and platinization of TiO2 surface on anoxic photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds

Simultaneously surface fluorinated and platinized TiO2 (F-TiO2/Pt) exhibits a novel photocatalytic activity for the anoxic degradation of organic compounds, which is attributed to the unique synergic effect of surface fluorination and platinization on the photo-induced charge transfer process.
