Résumé : |
TiO2 is a much studied material for photocatalysis applications. Its large band gap makes it sensitive only to UV radiations. For much desired activation in the visible range and to extend their applications to living spaces with relatively poor interior lighting illumination, the band gap has to be tailored. A novel photocatalyst, N-doped TiO2 shows a significant improvement over TiO2 in photocatalytic activity under visible light.
Photocatalytically active under visible light, N-doped TiO2, can be used as an additive in paints for interior walls of a room. Due to the photocatalytic activity it can decompose harmful organic substances reponsible for foul odor on absorption of visible light. Thus such paints can effectively function as a deodorizer for the room. |
