A layered sodium silicate, octosilicate (Na2Si8O17·nH2O), was modified with an organosulfonic-acid moiety (sulfonated propyl (SPr) group, sulfonated phenethyl (SPhE) group, or sulfonated p-trifluoromethylphenyl (STFPh) group) for use as a host mat...
Although tremendous effort has been directed to synthesizing advanced TiO2, it remains difficult to obtain TiO2 exhibiting a photocatalytic efficiency higher than that of P25, a benchmark photocatalyst. P25 is composed of anatase, rutile, and amor...
