Improvement of Performance of Traditional Photocatalysis and Development of New Photocatalysis Materials and Technologies

Abstract:

Progresses of novel photocatalysis materials and technologies were introduced in this paper. Efficacy-strengthening technologies of TiO₂ photocatalysts include grain-refining and preparation of porous materials, improvement of visible light-responsive ability. Moreover, researchers are developing novel photocatalysts materials and equipments with high efficacy, novel photocatalysis materials include small gap materials, new-serie photocatalysis materials, some natural compounds, broad-spectrum photocatalysts and broad-energy and energy-sensitive catalysts, etc, in addition, high-efficacy controllable high-power environment-cleaning equipments such as high-voltage negative-ion generator and plasma generator have been developed to dispose heavy pollutants in industrial fields.
