THREE-DIMENSIONAL FOAM PHOTOCATALYSTS STRUCTURED WITH CARBIDE AND PARTICULARLY ?-SIC

摘要

The invention relates to a photocatalyst that comprises a ß-SiC cellular foam and a photocatalytically active phase directly deposited on said cellular foam or on an intermediate phase deposited on said cellular foam. The average size of the cells is 2500 µm to 5000 µm. The foam may comprise nanotubes or nanofibres (particularly of carbon, SiC, and TiO2) that consist of, or carry as an intermediate phase, a photocatalytically active phase.
