Abstract
Bare ZrO2, Ce doped ZrO2and Er doped ZrO2samples have been prepared by a hydrothermal process and have been used as photocatalysts for 2-propanol oxidation reaction in gas solid regime. Moreover, some preliminary tests have been carried out for CO2reduction. The samples were physico-chemically characterized and both bare and doped ZrO2based materials resulted active for oxidation and reduction reactions by using UV and solar irradiation. The reactivity results have been correlated with the compositional, structural and morphological features of the photocatalysts.
