Abstract

Partial insight into the reaction mechanism of the photooxidation of 2-propanol over Au/TiO₂. 2-Propanol is activated by hole capture and converted to acetone requiring the presence of O₂ as an electron acceptor. The deposited Au nanoparticles are assumed to facilitate the electron transfer from the TiO₂ conduction band to adsorbed O₂.
