Abstract

Titanium dioxide works as a photocatalyst oxidizing most of organic matter strongly under the light which has a wavelength around 400 nm or shorter than 400 nm. Organic matter is decomposed to CO2, H2O and so on. In these days, there are many products with the functions of deodorization, sterilization, and self-cleaning in the market. Photocatalyst TiO2 has extremely small diameter around 10 to 20 nm. The reason of being nano order is large surface area. For instance, the average diameter of 150 nm TiO2 is estimated about 10 m2⁄g, while 7 nm TiO2 has a greater surface area of 320 m2⁄g. We found that titanium dioxide which has diameter around 10 nm works most effective when then are applied as a coating pigment. We have developed unique “photocatalyst paper” with air purifying effect. TiO2 surface modified with decomposable binder by TiO2 were used to avoid chalking. The photo catalytic paper includes new technologies such as preventing chalking and printability control.
