title: Mechanisms of photocatalytic remote oxidation.
abstract: The mechanisms of photocatalytic remote oxidation have been elucidated. Hydrogen peroxide, generated on a photocatalyst (TiO2, Pt-TiO2, or Ag-TiO2), is transported in air and then photocleaved into hydroxyl radicals by UV light in the vicinity of a substrate, and the hydroxyl radicals attack the substrate.
