Metal Oxide Nanofibrous Materials for Photodegradation of Environmental Toxins
Using photocatalysis, nanotechnology can be utilized for rapid decontamination.
Huge amounts of environmental toxins, such as toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), toxic organic dyes, bio-pharmaceuticals, and chemical warfare agents (CWAs), bio-accumulate causing chronic and aesthetic pollution to the surrounding environments.
Nanotechnology can provide novel systems for rapid decontamination and protection from environmental toxins through a self-cleaning mechanism. The basic principle of this self-cleaning system is the application of photocatalysis.
