Abstract

Cyclodextrin-assisted photodegradation of toluene was investigated in water in the presence of a photo-irradiated commercial titanium dioxide photocatalyst. It was expected that cyclodextrins could form water-soluble supramolecular host/guest complexes with the toluene and thus promote the approach of the pollutant on the TiO2 surface and enhance the phototocatalytic oxidation efficiency.
