Abstract
Microcrystalline titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2) powders having high surface area and high crystallinity were synthesized by high-temperature hydrolysis of titanium(IV) alkoxide in organic media. They were platinized and then used for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of 2-propanol in aqueous solution. The TiO2 catalysts exhibited much higher production rates of hydrogen and acetone than representative active TiO2 catalysts (P-25).Keywords
