METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING PHOTOCATALYST AND PHOTOCATALYST PRECURSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of synthesizing a photocatalyst that can provide a photocatalyst having high decomposition properties for organic/inorganic compounds, and to provide a photocatalyst precursor. SOLUTION: In the method, a titanium alkoxide 1 is hydrolyzed in a specific diol such as 1,3-butanediol (hydrolysis process P1), and is then dried and solidified (dry and solidifying process P2) to synthesize a titanium oxide precursor 2. The titanium oxide precursor 2 is heat-treated (heat process P3) to synthesize a titanium oxide photocatalyst 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
