The porous structure, surface property and state of TiO2 were investigated by various characterization techniques. By using an ammonium hexafluorotitanate as a precursor, hydrophobic modification of the Y-zeolite surface and realizing visible light sensitivity was successfully achieved at the same time after calcination at 773 K in the air. The prepared sample still maintained the porous structure of Y-zeolite and a large surface area. Highly crystalline anatase TiO2 was also formed on the Y-zeolite surface by the role of fluorine in the precursor. The usages of ammonium hexafluorotitanate were effective for the improvement of the photocatalytic performance of the composite  in the degradation of 2-propanol in the gas phase under UV and visible light  (\u03bb &gt; 420 nm) irradiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules191016477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,14]],"date-time":"2014-10-14T02:13:08Z","timestamp":1413252788000},"page":"16477-16488","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Design of Composite Photocatalyst of TiO2 and Y-Zeolite for Degradation of 2-Propanol in the Gas Phase under UV and Visible Light Irradiation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Takashi","family":"Kamegawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering,  Osaka University, 2-1 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Research Center, Osaka Prefecture University, 1-2 Gakuencho, Nakaku, Sakai, Osaka 599-8570, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasushi","family":"Ishiguro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering,  Osaka University, 2-1 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryota","family":"Kido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering,  Osaka University, 2-1 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiromi","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering,  Osaka University, 2-1 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"},{"name":"Elements Strategy Initiative for Catalysts and Batteries (ESICB), Kyoto University, Katsura,  Kyoto 615-8520, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.1021\/cr00017a016","article-title":"Heterogeneous Photocatalysis","volume":"93","author":"Fox","year":"1993","journal-title":"Chem.
