ETS-10 as a photocatalyst by Yuni K. Krisnandi, Peter D. Southon, Asoji A. Adesina, Russell F. Howe

“…A more defective material is photoreduced when irradiated in the presence of adsorbed ethene, and catalyses the complete oxidation of ethene to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. These differences are attributed to differences in the concentrations of exposed titanium sites associated with defects in the ETS-10 structure.…”
