Abstract

The photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde proceeded with high conversion and selectivity on a TiO2 photocatalyst by O2 under visible light irradiation. Surface complex formed by the interaction of benzyl alcohol with the Ti sites and/or surface OH groups of TiO2 play an important role in the absorption of visible light and unique selective photocatalytic reaction.
