摘要
A rapid deactivation of TiO2 film was observed in the process of the photocatalytic degradation of formic acid in the presence of Cu(II) due to the deposition of Cu(0). A novel regeneration method, air-assisted electrooxidation, could efficiently retrieve the photocatalytic activity of the deact ivated film. HNO3 medium has a regeneration extent of 97.2% for first run, much higher than that of HCl and H2SO4 mediums.
