  ABSTRACT: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the major group of indoor air pollutants, which significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ) and influence human health. Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a cost-effective technology for VOCs removal, compared with adsorption, biofiltration, or thermal catalysis method. Development of active photocatalyst systems is crucial for the PCO reaction. In this paper, the catalyst systems for photocatalysis under UV and visible light were discussed and the kinetics of photocatalytic oxidation was presented in order that some key influencing factors (relative huminity, light intensity, initial contaminant concentration and mass of catalyst) had also been studied. In addition, the future research directions were also presented in this paper.
