Platinum-carbonaceous catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation method and tested for catalytic oxidation of toluene as a volatile organic compound. The textural properties of the constructed catalysts were considered by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope and N2 adsorption–desorption analysis. The catalytic assessments showed that the best activity (>99%) and high stability and selectivity to CO2 (>99%) are related to platinum-supported carbon nanotube. The curves of the conversion and selectivity demonstrate that the performance of catalysts to eliminate the volatile organic compound and turn it into CO2 conforms to the following descending order: platinum-supported carbon nanotube >platinum-supported graphene >platinum-supported activated carbon >platinum-supported carbon nanofibre. The kinetic of toluene oxidation has been evaluated as a function of toluene and oxygen partial pressures in different temperatures. Two kinetic models (Power Law and Mars–van Krevelen mechanisms) were applied to the reaction and compared with the experimental data. Mars–van Krevelen model is more appropriate than the Power Law model for this reaction as Mars–van Krevelen model showed better prediction of the behaviour of the reaction.

Pore structure parameters are significant for investigating the diffusion properties of volatile organic compounds from building materials. Traditional characterization methods could provide ether surface morphology or some pore parameters of the material, which could not comprehensively reflect the overall information. X-ray tomography, as an advanced nondestructive method, can not only characterize the three-dimensional structure characteristics but also comprehensively measure pore parameters of materials. This study applied X-ray tomography to systematically analyze the geometry and volatile organic compound emission paths of medium-density fiberboard. The three-dimensional structures of pores and materials were reconstructed respectively. The isolated pores and connective pores were extracted to indicate the pore connectivity, and skeletonization was simultaneously applied, allowing visualization of the volatile organic compound diffusion paths. The porosity was 54.67%, and 99.91% of the pores were connective pores. The tortuosity was 2.07, and the fractal dimension was 2.605, indicating the heterogeneity and self-similarity of pore structures. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the two-dimensional morphology of the material, and mercury intrusion porosimetry was applied to analyze the pore parameters. The results were consistent with that of X-ray tomography, and their coupling with X-ray tomography could comprehensively characterize the structures and parameters of indoor building materials, which could contribute significantly to future research on volatile organic compound emission mechanisms and building physics.

Hierarchical SnO2 (H-SnO2) and particulate SnO2 (P-SnO2) nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with and without the aid of sodium 1-dodecanesulfonate (SDS), respectively. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the products obtained. The sensing properties of the H-SnO2 and P-SnO2 nanostructures to volatile organic compound gas (VOCs) were measured. The H-SnO2 sensors show better gas-sensing performance than the P-SnO2 sensors due to the hierarchical microstructure.
