Sonication-Assisted Low-Temperature Routes for the Synthesis of Supported Fe-TiO2 Econanomaterials: Partial Photooxidation of Glucose and Phenol Aqueous Degradation

Fe-doped (2)-supported photocatalytic materials prepared by the use of a mild ultrasound-assisted protocol have been found to possess excellent selectivities in glucose oxidation and total phenol mineralization. (2) physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, SEM with X-ray microanalysis, HR (3+) ions. (2) supported on zeolite. In phenol photodegradation, although Fe doping demonstrated the detrimental effect on the conversion rate, an improvement in the direct mineralization of phenol to CO2 and water, particularly for the SiO2-supported photocatalyst, with a negligible content of toxic byproducts in water has been observed in comparison with commercially available Evonik P25.
