Abstract:
The vapor-phase photodegradation of methanol to carbon dioxide was carried out over uranyl-anchored nanoporous MCM-41 and MCM-48 hosts (designated as UO2+2/MCM-41 and UO2+2/MCM-48, respectively) under simulated light and ambient conditions. Preliminary results indicate that the photoactivity of the latter is considerably decreased as compared to the former due to the presence of a smaller fraction of photoactive uranyl (UO2+2) ions in UO2+2/MCM-48.Keywords: NANOPOROUS MATERIAL; URANYL; URANIUM OXIDE; HETEROGENEOUS PHOTOCATALYSIS; METHANOL OXIDATION; MCM-41; MCM-48
