Improving the Efficiency of Photocatalysts

摘要

The photocatalytic reaction is not an academic masterpiece anymore. Applications in fagade paints, concrete, plasters, paper, glass and metal coating, laminates etc. are viable and economic realities in the private and public sector. Efforts were made to improve the interface photocatalytic reaction by offering the market photocatalysts with high specific surface which harvest mainly the energetic UV part of the solar spectrum. Doping the same with organic precursors (like in KRONOCIean 7000) extends the effective transformation of light into chemical energy towards the visible light segment.
