Abstract
The photocatalytic decomposition of toluene vapor by bare and <TEX>$TiO_2$</TEX>-coated carbon fibers was studied. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to perform the <TEX>$TiO_2$</TEX> coating. We show that, under our conditions, the photocatalytic activity of bare carbon fibers was comparable with that of <TEX>$TiO_2$</TEX> films, which are known to be good photocatalysts. The origin of the high photocatalytic activity of bare carbon fibers is discussed.
