Sg. Zhang et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE PROPERTY OF TITANIUM SILICALITE-2 CATALYST AND ITS PHOTOCATALYTIC REACTIVITY FOR THE DIRECT DECOMPOSITION OF NO AT 295 K, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1996, pp. 895-896
The titanium silicalite-2 (TS-2) catalyst exhibits a photoluminescence
spectrum at around 450-550 nm as well as the distinct and characteris
tic photocatalytic activity towards the direct decomposition of NO int
o N-2, O-2 and N2O at 295 K under UV irradiation. XAFS and photolumine
scence investigations indicated that the charge transfer excited state
of the titanium oxide moieties having a tetrahetral coordination play
s a significant role in the photoluminescence and photocatalytic react
ivities of the TS-2 catalyst.
