New Catalyst Can Decompose VOCs at Low Temperature...

摘要

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed a vanadium-based metal oxide catalyst that can decompose volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low temperatures of 30-200°C, allowing broader application of VOC decomposition than was previously possible. The catalyst can be used in air conditioners for enclosed spaces like houses and car interiors and in the production of vanadium-based antibacterial agents at less than one-tenth the cost of silver-based ones.
