Chemistry of NOx on TiO2 surfaces studied by ambient pressure XPS: Products, effect of UV irradiation, water, and coadsorbed K +

Self-cleaning surfaces containing TiO2 nanoparticles have been postulated to efficiently remove NOx from the atmosphere. However, UV irradiation of NOx adsorbed on TiO2 also was shown to form harmful gas-phase byproducts such as HONO and N2O that may limit their depolluting potential. Ambient pressu...
