TL;DR: Results suggest that {001} surfaces can be considered essentially as oxidation sites with a key role in the photoxidation, while {101} surfaces provide reductive sites which do not directly assist the oxidative processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of nanosized iron-doped anatase TiO 2 catalysts with different iron content (between 0.4 and 5.1% ) were examined with respect to their behavior for UV photocatalytic degradation of aqueous phenol.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic activity of a home-made titanium dioxide and its corresponding composite based on graphene oxide (GO), the GO-TiO 2 catalyst, has been investigated under UV-vis in the photodegradation of a mixture of four pesticides classified by the European Union as priority pollutants: diuron, alachlor, isoproturon and atrazine.

TL;DR: Different activated carbon-supported Fe catalysts have been prepared and tested in CWPO of phenol and three well characterized activated carbons and two iron precursors (iron nitrate and iron pentacarbonyl) have been used as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The surface of activated carbon promotes H2O2 decomposition to an extent depending on related-structural features and the amount and nature of surface oxygen groups, and empirical equations based on the most reactive carbon fraction by TPO, defects aliphatic carbon fraction, assessed by XPS, and the content of surfaceoxy groups, determined by TPD, have been developed for describing the hydrogen peroxide decomposition ability of activated carbons.
