THREE-DIMENSIONAL FOAM PHOTOCATALYSTS STRUCTURED WITH CARBON OR CARBONATED MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a photocatalyst that comprises a cellular foam selected from carbon foam and the foam of a carbonated material such as a polymer, and a photocatalytically active phase directly deposited on said cellular foam or on an intermediate phase deposited on said cellular foam. The average size of the cells is 2500 μm to 5000 μm. The foam may comprise nanotubes or nanofibres (particularly of TiO2).
