Novel photoactivation and solar-light-driven thermocatalysis on ε-MnO₂ nanosheets lead to highly efficient catalytic abatement of ethyl acetate without acetaldehyde as unfavorable by-product

Abstract

ε-MnO₂ nanosheets exhibit excellent photothermocatalytic performance promoted by a novel photoactivation without unfavorable by-product of acetaldehyde for abatement of ethyl acetate under UV-vis-IR irradiation.
