Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed the highly efficient visible-light-sensitive photocatalyst on the basis of CuOx and Ti(IV) oxides nanoclusters grafted TiO2 by a facile wet chemical synthesis. Charge transfer process in this photocatalyst has been elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and probe microscope onto the thin film model structure. Based on these results, the choice of metal oxides with appropriate work function and its size of a few nanometers are very important for the development of efficient photocatalyst. Our photocatalyst is working as an anti-bacterial and deodorization building material even under indoor environment, which has been commercialized.
