Abstract

The sunlight-induced photocatalytic oxidation of aqueous benzene on TiO₂-supported gold nanoparticles was considerably improved when the reaction was conducted under a CO₂ atmosphere. 13% yield and 89% selectivity of phenol was obtained on P25-supported gold nanoparticles under 230 kPa of CO₂.
