A. Kudo et H. Nagayoshi, PHOTOCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF N2O ON METAL-SUPPORTED TIO2 POWDER AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE IN THE PRESENCE OF H2O AND CH3OH VAPOR, Catalysis letters, 52(1-2), 1998, pp. 109-111
Ag- and Cu-supported TiO2 photocatalysts showed high activity for the
reduction of N2O to N-2 at room temperature in the presence of CH3OH a
nd H2O vapor. The suppression by H2O on the activity was not observed
in the present photocatalyst system. The remarkable behavior of the Ag
and Cu co-catalysts for TiO2 photocatalysts agreed well with that of
electro- and thermal catalyses.
