Fabrication of hydrophobic zeolites using triethoxyfluorosilane and their application as supports for TiO(2) photocatalysts.
Hydrophobically modified Y-zeolites were prepared by simple modification with triethoxyfluorosilane (TEFS). These zeolites, used as supports, enhanced the efficiency of deposited TiO(2) for the photocatalytic degradation of organics diluted in water.
