| Research Abstract |
Catalytic materials exhibiting photocatalysis and thermocatalysis were prepared and used for some reactions. Photocatalytic oxidation of methanol in air over titanium(IV) oxide at room temperature yielded methyl formate with a high level of selectivity (91 mol%), indicating that photocatalytic oxidation and acid-base-catalyzed dimerization occurred simultaneously. Rapid isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butenes over Pd/TiO_2 was observed under irradiation of UV light, suggesting that thermocatalysis of Pd was accelerated by photogenerated electrons and holes.
