Photocatalysis of Dimethylnaphthalene

Selective Photocatalysis of Dimethylnaphthalene by Means of β-Cyclodextrin Molecular Recognition Sites (PDF 246kB)

Heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide is a non-selective technique used for the degradation of target molecules such as dimethylnaphthalene. This work presents a novel approach for selective photocatalysis implementing molecular recognition sites (MRS) placed in the vicinity of titanium dioxide which attract target molecules and shuttle them to the surface of titanium dioxide, where they are more rapidly and selectively degraded.
