The samples were characterized by powder XRD, TEM, low temperature N-2 adsorption/desorption, UV-Vis, and FTIR. UV-induced vapor-phase photo-oxidation of acetone was used as a probe reaction to study the role of Au in mineralization of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), viz. acetone at different concentrations. The doping of Au in titania-loaded MCM-41 resulted in the decrease of BET surface area, total pore volume, and average pore size. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of Au-doped titania-loaded MCM-41 showed the red shift in their absorption bands compared to titania-loaded MCM-41. The activity of mineralization of acetone by photocatalysis for 2 % Au-doped titania-loaded MCM-41 was found to be similar to 1.6 times higher than titania-loaded MCM-41. The presence of cocatalytic nanosized gold might be responsible for their enhanced activity on account of the delayed recombination of electron/hole pair. Although, almost complete mineralization of acetone was observed irrespective of the initial concentration of acetone in air (up to 3.72 mol%) by all the catalysts, 2 wt.% Au-doped titania-loaded MCM-41 has shown the most enhanced activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1.93&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
