Photothermocatalyticexpialadocious: The highly efficient photothermocatalytic detoxification of benzene is realized by coating nano TiO 2 on the surfaces of a UV lamp without using an additional heater. Its high photothermocatalytic efficiency can be significantly enhanced by supporting well‐dispersed Pt nanoparticles on TiO 2 . The excellent photothermocatalytic performance of TiO 2 and Pt/TiO 2 is due to the existence of new photothermocatalytic synergetic effects.
