TLDR
In this paper, the effect of surface acidity of modified TiO2 samples on the rate of photocatalytic decomposition of acetone vapor was studied, and it was shown that the TiO 2 activity was strongly dependent on the concentration of acid and basic sites on the surface.
Abstract
The effect of the surface acidity of modified TiO2 samples on the rate of photocatalytic decomposition of acetone vapor was studied. The TiO2 activity was shown to depend strongly on the concentration of acid and basic sites on the surface. It was 1.23 times greater for TiO2 treated with 10 M H2SO4 solution than for the untreated sample. This dependence may be related to changes in the adsorption energy of the reagents.

How Gold Deposition Affects Anatase Performance in the Photo-catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexane

TL;DR: In this paper, gold deposition on Hombikat UV100 was found to negatively affect the activity of this Anatase catalyst in selective photo-oxidation of cyclohexane, suggesting that the amount of surface OH-groups was determining the catalytic performance.

Photocatalyzed oxidation of ethanol and acetaldehyde in humidified air

TL;DR: In this article, the first complete kinetic model for a photocatalyzed multispecies network of ethanol and acetaldehyde in humidified air was established, where two catalysts were examined in a batch, recirculation reactor, near-UV illuminated TiO 2 (anatase) coated on the surface of a nonporous quartz glass plate and on a porous ceramic honeycomb monolith.
