Photocatalytic Reaction Systems Supported on Fibers and Beads

【Supercategory：1. Fiber/polymer materials Category：1.2 Synthetic fiber/polymer materials Subcategory：1.2.3 Others】

Our research topics are photocatalysts and photochemical reactors for controlled photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic compounds and photodecomposition of impurity in water. Photocatalyst nano-hybrids for the reactions are designed and fabricated by the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) process and observed by waveguide spectroscopy. We developed a novel photochemical reactor with a network of light guide to deliver excitation light and microchannel to transfer substrate to each photocatalyst. Partial oxidation of benzene, water purification and self-cleaning textiles have been studied as some applications of the photocatalytic reaction systems.
