The phases of CeO2 and anatase TiO2 were observed in the catalysts from X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that lattice oxygen and surface active oxygen were found to be the major components of O 1 s. The experiment results showed that the kinetic constant of thermo-photocatalysis was 7.6 times of the kinetic constant of single photocatalysis, and was 2.29 times of the kinetic constant sum of photocatalytic and thermal catalytic reaction.展开更多
