Fig. 2: Photo-assisted MTBE dehydrogenative coupling towards MTBE dimer and H2 with Pt/C-TiO(B)-650 catalyst.
From: Photocatalytic synthesis of ethylene glycol and hydrogen from methyl tert-butyl ether
The influence of (a) water content (b) light wavelength, (c) temperature, and (d) light intensity on the dehydrogenative coupling activity. Standard conditions: MTBE 5 mL+ H2O 5 mL; Light, 320–500 nm, 4 W; catalyst, 10 mg; reaction time, 4 h. The corresponding product production was marked with columns in different colors shown in the figure. All experiments were repeated at least 3 times with standard deviations within 5 %, and error bars show as mean s.d.. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
