Key Points

The aim is to develop an effective method for screening various photocatalysts for VOC removal from air.
Developed a method for testing photocatalysts using films of catalytic powders deposited in crimp vials.
Introduced VOCs under a gas atmosphere and analyzed using GC-MS after illumination with UVA lamps.
Allowed simultaneous testing of multiple vials for rapid screening, aiming for over 20 samples per day.
The method efficiently tests numerous photocatalysts and conditions in a single day, enhancing throughput.
Reusability of catalyst-treated vials allows for sustainable testing practices.
Significant reduction of VOC levels observed across different catalysts with effective degradation rates.

Tests multiple photocatalysts for removing VOCs from air, indicating efficiency in screening.
