Increasing interest has been devoted to use the metal oxides (MOs = TiO2 and ZnO)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a photocatalysts for potential application in photo catalysis. By taking TiO2 and ZnO as a metal oxides, we conceptually demonstrate the enhancement of catalytic activity of MOs by β-CD for the photocatalytic decoloration of 4-NP. The present study reveals the ability of β-CD as a low cost co-catalyst for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity. The promising characteristics of MOs/β-CD may have the potential use in various indoor applications. Powder X-ray diffraction analyses results showed that the slight increase in the crystal size of MOs/β-CD leads to a small decrease in the surface area. It is hoped that this work offers a valuable source of reference on application of MO/β-CD as a photo catalysts in the environmental cleanup.
