  • Method of fabrication visible light absorbed TiO/CNT photocatalysts and photocatalytic filters
    Patent number: 8277742
    Abstract: A method of fabricating visible light absorbed TiO2/CNT photocatalysts and photocatalytic filters is disclosed, in which the method of fabricating the photocatalysts comprises steps: (a) providing a substrate; (b) forming a plurality of carbon nanotubes on the substrate; (c) providing a titanium source and an oxygen source; and (d) forming at least one titanium dioxide layer on the carbon nanotubes. The filter of the present invention comprises: a substrate, a plurality of carbon nanotubes, and a titanium dioxide layer. The plurality of carbon nanotubes form on the surface of the substrate, one end of each carbon nanotube connects to the substrate, and the titanium dioxide layer covers the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The filter of the present invention is a visible light absorbed filtering net, the titanium dioxide layer formed on the CNTs has high uniformity and therefore the photodegradation efficiency of the filter is an improvement.
