EDTA, benzoquinone, and isopropyl alcohol were used as scavengers introduced into the photocatalytic process to capture holes, superoxide radical (˙O2−), and hydroxyl radical (˙OH), respectively. The concentrations of the EDTA and benzoquinone were both 1 mmol L−1, and 0.1 mL isopropyl alcohol was added into 400 mL reaction solution (Liu et, 2019).
The compounds of n-butanol (n-BuOH, 0.5 M), benzoquinone (0.25 mM), and EDTA-2Na (0.01 M) were used as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide radicals (O2 •−), and hole (h+ ) scavengers, respectively (Zhang et al, 2019)
