A series of TiO2 catalysts loaded with transition metals were prepared by photodeposition. The activity order for these catalysts in the title reaction was as follows: Pt/TiO2>Rh/TiO2>Pd/TiO2>Ru/TiO2>Ir/TiO2>TiO2. Upon heat treatment the activities of all the metal/TiO2 catalysts were enhanced, but the above sequence was unaltered.
