6. -1) suggested the sintering of crystallites as observed by annealing (see next paragraph).
7. -1) compared with catalyst D. The decrease in water in feed may cause decrease in autogenous pressure and thereby decrease in amount of water dissolved in toluene. Both of Diese decreases might account for leaving amorphous-like surface moiety during the synthesis process to result in the diminished photocatalytic activity.
