The practical feasibility of bismuth oxyhalide semiconductors with controlled surface defects in photocatalytic degradation of toluene in air.

The photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of toluene (as model aromatic volatile organic compound (VOC)) is studied using two-dimensional semiconductors (bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX (X = Cl and Br)) synthesized with surface defects (BiOX-R (R = reduction)) through a solvothermal-induced reduction process. The PCD efficiency of BiOCl-R against 5 ppm toluene (20 % relative humidity (RH)) is 98.6 % under ultraviolet light irradiation with the quantum yield and clean air delivery rate of 1.

The catalytic efficacy of modified manganese-cobalt oxides for room-temperature oxidation of formaldehyde in air.

Formaldehyde (FA) is a hazardous indoor air pollutant with carcinogenic propensity. Oxidation of FA in the dark at low temperature (DLT) is a promising strategy for its elimination from indoor air. In this light, binary manganese-cobalt oxide (0.

Benzene Oxidation in Air by an Amine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Carbon- and Nitrogen-Loaded Zirconium Dioxide-Supported Platinum Catalyst.

To learn more about the behavior of amine (NH)-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived noble metal catalysts in the removal of aromatic volatile organic compounds in air, benzene oxidation at low temperatures has been investigated using 0.2-, 0.8-, and 1.

Low-temperature thermocatalytic removal of formaldehyde in air using copper manganite spinels.

The removal of formaldehyde (FA) is vital for indoor air quality management in light of its carcinogenic propensity and adverse environmental impact. A series of copper manganite spinel structures (e.g.
