TiO2-based photocatalysts synthesized by the microwave-assisted sol-gel method was tested in the photocatalytic glucose conversion. Modifications of TiO2 with type-Y zeolite (ZeY) and metals (Ag, Cu, and Ag-Cu) were developed for increasing the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles and increasing the photocatalytic activity. Effects of the TiO2 dosage to zeolite ratio (i.e., TiO2/ZeY of 10, 20, 40, and 50 mol %) and the silica to alumina ratio in ZeY (i.e., SiO2:Al2O3 of 10, 100, and 500) were firstly studied. It was found that the specific surface area of TiO2/ZeY was 400–590 m2g−1, which was higher than that of pristine TiO2 (34.38 m2g−1). The good properties of 20%TiO2/ZeY photocatalyst, including smaller particles (13.27 nm) and high surface area, could achieve the highest photocatalytic glucose conversion (75%). Yields of gluconic acid, arabinose, xylitol, and formic acid obtained from 20%TiO2/ZeY were 9%, 26%, 4%, and 35%, respectively. For the effect of the silica to alumina ratio, the highest glucose conversion was obtained from SiO2:Al2O3 ratio of 100. Interestingly, it was found that the SiO2:Al2O3 ratio affected the selectivity of carboxylic products (gluconic acid and formic acid). At a low ratio of silica to alumina (SiO2:Al2O3 = 10), higher selectivity of the carboxylic products (gluconic acid = 29% and formic acid = 32%) was obtained (compared with other higher ratios). TiO2/ZeY was further loaded by metals using the microwave-assisted incipient wetness impregnation technique. The highest glucose conversion of 96.9 % was obtained from 1 wt. % Ag-TiO2 (40%)/ZeY. Furthermore, the bimetallic Ag-Cu-loaded TiO2/ZeY presented the highest xylitol yield of 12.93%.

We present the nonaqueous sol–gel synthesis of crystalline SrTi1−xCrxO3 (x = 0, 0.3, 2, 5, 10%) nanoparticles and their processing into highly concentrated dispersions in ethanol by surface functionalization with 2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy] acetic acid (MEEAA).
