In this study, the photocatalytic activity of highly dispersed silver (Ag) embedded into ZX-Bi zeolite during methanol (MeOH) photooxidation under visible light and at room temperature was investigated. The size dispersion Agn?+ subnanoclusters (<1 nm) studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), diffuse-reflectance UV–vis, in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), etc....

Recent work has shown that the atmospheric oxidation of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, C5H8) leads to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). In this study, the mechanism of SOA formation by isoprene photooxidation is comprehensively investigated, by measurements of SOA yields over a range of experimental conditions, namely isoprene and NOx concentrations. Hydrogen peroxide is used...
