Decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents by Photocatalysis

YAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2009
Photocatalysis has been widely applied to solar-energy conversion and environmental purification. Photocatalyst, typically titanium dioxide (TiO(2)), produces active oxygen species under irradiation of ultraviolet light, and can decompose not only conventional pollutants but also different types of hazardous substances at mild conditions.
