Molecularly imprinted TiO2 photocatalysts for degradation of diclofenac in water
In order to improve the selectivity in photocatalytic process, molecularly imprinted photocatalysts containing a low loading of TiO2 (from 6.6 to 16.6% of total mass) were prepared for photocatalytic degradation of an organic pollutant, diclofenac (DIC). The photocatalytic component TiO2 (P25), with and without being doped with Cu2O, was embedded in diclofenac-imprinted polymers. The molecularly i
