title: Enhanced performance of surface-modified TiO2 photocatalysts prepared via a visible-light photosynthetic route.
abstract: Benzene can be activated by visible light (λ > 455 nm) in the presence of TiO(2), which leads to formation of carbonaceous polymeric deposits on the titania surface. These photosynthesized surface-modified materials exhibit enhanced photoactivity in degradation of phenolic compounds, particularly under visible light irradiation.
