Alkali-Metal-Promoted Pt/TiO2 Opens a More Efficient Pathway to Formaldehyde Oxidation at Ambient Temperatures

摘要

Formaldehyde is emitted from building and furnishing materials and consumer products, and is known to cause irritation of eyes and respiratory tract, headache, pneumonia, and even cancer. It is a dominant indoor air pollutant, especially in developing countries, and significant efforts have gone into indoor HCHO purification to meet environmental regulations and human health needs.
