[Display omitted] •OH radical scavengers coumarin and terephthalic acid potentially enable a relative performance comparison of photocatalysts.•An absolute determination of OH∙ radicals is not possible due to formation of multiple photocatalytic products.•Studied TiO2 based catalysts produce OH∙ mai...
