Abstract

A series of new inorganic–organic hybrid materials based on TiO 2 and new biochar-based supports (biochar obtained by pyrolysis of miscanthus straw pellets (MSP) and soft wood pellets (SWP) at 550 and 700 °C) were successfully prepared using ultrasound-assisted methodology. The resulting composites were characterized by a wide range physicochemical techniques and investigated in water and gas-phase photocatalytic test reactions. Our best composite (TiO 2 /SWP700) achieved phenol degradation of 64.1% (under UV light) and 33.6% (under visible light). In addition, it also showed an extraordinarily high activity (∼90%) in selective oxidation of methanol to methyl formate in flow gas phase, high selectivity to methyl formate (∼80%), and high yield of methyl formate (∼88%) after 240 min of illumination. It can be noticed that when TiO 2 is supported on biochar it presented a superior photocatalytic ability and could be recycled at least 5 times in both photocatalytic runs tests with reproducible high photocatalytic efficiency.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
