Highly Active Amino-Fullerene Derivative-Modified TiO₂ for Enhancing Formaldehyde Degradation Efficiency under Solar-Light Irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a ubiquitous indoor pollutant that seriously endangers human health. The removal of formaldehyde effectively at room temperature has always been a challenging problem. Here, a kind of amino-fullerene derivative (C₆₀-EDA)-modified titanium dioxide (C₆₀-EDA/TiO₂) was prepared by one-step hydrothermal method, which could degrade the formaldehyde under solar light irradiation at room temperature with high efficiency and stability. Importantly, the introduction of C₆₀-EDA not only increases the adsorption of the free formaldehyde molecules but also improves the utilization of sunlight and suppresses photoelectron-hole recombination. The experimental results indicated that the C₆₀-EDA/TiO₂ nanoparticles exhi
