TiO<sub>2</sub>–Zeolite Metal Composites for Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Water

Immobilization of photocatalysts in porous materials is an approach to significantly minimize the hazards of manipulation and recovery of nanoparticles. Inorganic materials, such as zeolites, are proposed as promising materials for photocatalyst immobilization mainly due to their photochemical stabi...
