Abstract: | Photoenhanced activity of several supported noble metal/metal oxide combinations has been explored. Significant activity is observed for supported Pt and Pd samples. Specifically, the so called light-off temperatures for CO oxidation are found to decrease upon illumination. Evidence for a photocatalytic non-thermal mechanism rather than a photo-assisted thermal process is found through the wavelength dependence for CO oxidation on a Pt/alumina catalyst. The difficulty of separating real photocatalytic from other photo-assisted effects in the case of porous samples is discussed. |
