The Photochemical Thermodynamic Efficiency Factor (PTEF) and Quantum Yield (QY) have been evaluated for acetone and acetaldehyde photocatalytic degradation in air with low concentration of water; showing QYs that supersede the value of 1 (equivalent to 100%) while PTEFs remain below the level of 1 as required by thermodynamic constrains.
