Efficient photocatalytic oxidation of benzene to phenol by metal complex-clay/TiO2 hybrid photocatalyst

Abstract

Synthetic saponite containing a photosensitizing metal complex was complexed with colloidal anatase and used for the visible light photocatalytic reaction of aqueous benzene to phenol. The addition of phenol to the initial aqueous benzene solution was effective in improving the reaction yield and the product selectivity.
