Surface-Mediated Photocatalysis

Abstract

Three areas have been investigated: (1) application of esr spectroscopy and time-resolved diffuse reflectance absorption and emission spectroscopy to establish mechanisms in photocatalytic oxidative degradations of organic molecules; (2) exploration of controlled oxidation chemistry for new heteroatom-containing organic molecules; and (3) synthesis and characterization of new quantized semiconductor-support systems. Sufficient work was completed to demonstrate that photocatalytic oxidation on irradiated semiconductor surfaces is a useful route for degradation of various organic materials under constrained, highly controlled conditions.
