Photoactive Porous Films for Environmental Cleansing
Description
Effective redox photo catalysts based on silica - and titanium-composed nano sized transparent stable films easily prepared via low-temperature sol-gel route.
New photo catalytic modified silica systems for the highly effective production of bright nano sized silver particles stable either in solution or on the film surface
Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages
Elimination of toxic organic chlorinated phenols, cancerogenic polyacenes, inorganic (toxic Cr(VI) and Hg(ll), Cu(ll) compounds from air and water.
Simple and convenient fabrication of stable silver particles for catalytic and bactericide applications.
