Self-cleaning fabric is a fabric having a function of decotamination via photodecomposition of photocatalyst or wash-off of contaminants on the superhydrophobic surface. TiO₂ is the main photocatalyst for this purpose, but it only functions under UV light which is only a little portion of sunlight, compared to visible light. In this regard, this study aims to investigate Fe-doped TiO₂ for improved photodecomposition from visible light sensitization to apply self-cleaning finishing of PET fabrics. Moreover, the Fe-doped TiO₂ treated PET fabric was further treated with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane to provide superhydrophobicity on the PET fabrics. As a result of this dual treatment, the prepared fabric exhibited excellent photodecomposition of methylene blue with 96.96% in 12h under sunlight and superhydrophobicity with water contact angle of 166.5° and roll-off angle of 7°. This suggested that the excellent self-cleaning functions can be privided to PET fabric via Fe-doped TiO₂ and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane treatment.

The photocatalytic oxidation of Rhodamine B (RhB) was studied using immobilized TiO$_2$ and fluidized bed reactor. Immobilized TiO$_2$ onto GF/C was employed as the photocatalyst and a 30 W germicidal lamp was used as the light source and the reactor volume was 4.8 L. The effects of parameters such as the amounts of photocatalyst, initial concentration, initial pH, air flow rate and anion additives (NO$_3$$\^$-/, SO$_4$$\^$2-/, Cl$\^$-/, CO$_3$$\^$2-/) competing for reaction. The results showed that the optimum dosage of the immobilized TiO$_2$ was 40.0 g/L. Initial removal rate of immobilized TiO$_2$ was expressed Langmuir - Hinshelwood equation.

This study evaluated the photocatalytic oxidation efficiency of volatile organic compounds by $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ under visible-light irradiation. $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ was synthesized by an ultrasonic-assisted method. The XRD result indicated successful p-n type photocatalysts. However, no diffraction peaks belonging to $TiO_2$ were observed for the $Cu_2O-TiO_2$. The Uv-vis spectra result revealed that the synthesized $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ can be activated under visible-light irradiation. The FE-TEM/EDS result showed the formation of synthesized nanocomposites in the commercial P25 $TiO_2$, the undoped $TiO_2$, and $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ and componential analysis in the undoped $TiO_2$ and $Cu_2O-TiO_2$. The photocatalytic oxidation efficiencies of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene with $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ were higher than those of P25 $TiO_2$ and undoped $TiO_2$. These results indicate that the prepared $Cu_2O-TiO_2$ photocatalyst can be applied effectively to control gaseous BTEX.

본 연구에서는 장파장에서 감응하는 광촉매를 개발하기 위하여 상용화된 $TiO_2$에 Ag를 도핑하여 제조하였으며 광촉매 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 귀금속의 분산을 증대시키는 마이크로에멀젼 방법을 이용하였다. 제조된 $Ag/TiO_2$의 물리적 특성은 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy), FE-TEM(Field Emission Transmission Electron Microscopy), DRS(Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy)를 통해 분석하였다. RO 16(Reactive Orange 16)에 대한 광촉매의 제거 효율은 25ppm의 RO 16을 대상으로 UV-A 영역(365nm)에서 수행하였다. Ag의 도핑방법에 의한 광촉매 효율을 비교하기 위해 볼밀링 및 딥코팅 방법으로 제조하여 광촉매 효율을 분석하였으며 광촉매 효율에 대한 Ag 및 계면활성제 함량에 대한 최적화를 진행하였다. 도핑방법에 따른 RO 16 제거효율 분석 결과, 마이크로에멀젼 방법으로 제조한 $Ag/TiO_2$의 RO 16 제거효율이 가장 높았으며 Ag 함량 2wt%, 계면활성제 0.5g에서 가장 높은 제거효율을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 가시광촉매의 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 촉매를 제조하여 촉매를 특성화 하였으며, toluene, xylene, MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), ammonia를 반응물로 하여 기존의 UV-광촉매와 분해능을 비교 실험하였다. UV-광촉매는 파장범위가 280~360 nm 근처에서 광촉매가 활성화된다. 그러나 가시광촉매는 가시광영역인 400~750 nm의 파장영역에서도 광촉매가 활성화 된다. 이것을 UV-Vis 흡수도로 파악하였다. 그리고 가시광촉매의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 여러 가지 재료로 도핑하는데, 여기서는 망간에 Pt를 부가하여 성능향상을 꾀하였다. Pt를 첨가한 가시광 촉매의 경우 성능이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 바인더로 MTMS (methyl tri methoxy silane)를 사용하였으며 바인더양에 따른 접촉각을 측정하였다. MTMS 함량이 증가할수록 접촉각이 커졌다. 따라서 친수성이 줄어든 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 Mn-$TiO_2$ 촉매의 항균성이 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Zeolite is an ideal host material for encapsulating nano-size metal catalyst species because of its defined microporous structure, prominent adsorption/condensation properties, high surface area, chemical/thermal stability, and transparency to light. In this study, $TiO_2$ photocatalyst was incorporated in highly hydrophobic Y zeolite and its photocatalytic activity was examined in the photocatalytic oxidation of olefins under UV-light irradiation using molecular oxygen as an oxygen source. $TiO_2$ nanoparticles incorporated in hydrophobic Y zeolite exhibited a markedly enhanced photocatalytic activity compared with bare $TiO_2$ owing to its excellent affinity toward organic moieties, which facilitates the mass transfer of organic substrates and allows them to efficiently access to the neighboring active $TiO_2$ surface.

Removal of $NO_x$ on $CaO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst manufactured by the addition of $Ca(OH)_2$ was measured in relation with the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ and calcination temperature. In case of pure $TiO_2$, the $NO_x$ removal decreased greatly with the increase of calcination temperature from $500^{\circ}C\;to\;700^{\circ}C$, whereas in the photocatalyst added with $Ca(OH)_2$, the removed amount of $NO_x$ was high and constant regardless of calcination temperature. Considering $NO_x$ removal patterns depending on the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ added(50, 30, 10wt%), high removal rate showed at the photocatalysts containing less than 30wt% of $Ca(OH)_2$, and it was about 30% higher than that of pure $TiO_2$. From the XRD patterns, it is seen that the addition of $Ca(OH)_2$ contributes to maintaining the anatase structure that is favourable to photocatalysis. It also indicates that the possibility of the formation of calcium titanate($CaTiO_3$) by reacting with $TiO_2$ above $700^{\circ}C$. Apart from the favourable crystalline structure, the addition of $Ca(OH)_2$ helped increase the alkalinity of photocatalyst surface, thus promoting the photooxidation reaction of $NO_x$.

A $TiO_2$ film for photocatalyst was prepared by anodic oxidation at 180V in acidic electrolyte and film formation mechanism was studied. The major part of anodic $TiO_2$ film consisted of anatase type structure and surface morphology exhibited a porous cell structure. The thickness growth rate of the oxide film with anodization time revealed two-stage slope corresponds to the surface morphology between anodic films. The growth of pores on cell structure and the growth rate of film with two-stage slope are related to the constant formation rate of the $TiO_2$ layer.

코발트 적재된 활성탄소섬유(ACFs)는 이산화티탄($TiO_2$) 광촉매 반응을 촉진시키는 것을 발전되었다. Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ 광촉매는 SEM, XRD, EDX 및 UV-vis 분광기를 사용하여 분석하였다. Co-ACFs/$TiO_2$ 광촉매에 대한 메틸렌불루(MB)의 분해 효과는 300분 반응해서 거의 100%를 도달하였다. 용액에 있는 MB 분자들은 ACFs의 흡착에 의해 $TiO_2$ 입자의 주위에 응축한다고 가정되었다. 그래서 이 광촉매 복합체는 MB 광분해에 대한 활성탄의 흡착성과 $TiO_2$의 광촉매 특성의 결합한 성능을 가지고 있다. 코발트가 전자 천이 효과를 가지고 있기 때문에 MB 용액의 광분해가 증가되는 것으로 판단된다.
