  • Patent number: 7713912
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nano-sized photocatalytic sol and application thereof. The invention utilizes spherical nano-photocatalyst and non-spherical photocatalytic sol for coating a photocatalyst layer on a substrate. Because of the stereo, interlaced and composite structure between spherical photocatalyst and non-spherical photocatalyst, a hard and well adhesion coated layer of photocatalyst with good photocatalytic activity can be obtained without using binder.

  • Publication number: 20090162567
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing high performance photocatalytic filters is disclosed, which comprises the steps of: preparation of a photocatalytic material selected from a titanium dioxide (TiO2), a zinc oxide (ZnO), a tin dioxide (SnO2) and the mixtures thereof; metal-modification of the photocatalytic material with using the photo-deposition method, such as silver (Ag), gold (Au) or platinum (Pt), so as to enable the photocatalytic material to have a good photocatalytic activity and thus enable the as-prepared photocatalytic filter to photocatalytically degrade various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and non-organic gases as well as all kinds of pollutants. The photocatalytic filter made of the aforesaid photocatalytic material enjoys a comparatively longer lifespan with persisting catalytic activity, and can be easily regenerated by a water-washing process.

  • Publication number: 20070149397
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photocatalytic composite material, a method for producing the same and application thereof. This invention can maintain the activity of a photocatalytic adsorbent and reduce energy consumption by immersing an adsorbent material into a nano-photocatalyst sol to immobilize the nano-sized photocatalyst on the surface of the adsorbent material without a high-temperature calcinations step or using an adhesive agent. Besides, immobilizing the photocatalytic composite material onto a filter can be applied to the equipment for cleaning environment.
