- Additional information
- The deposition of crystalline photocatalytic titiania coatings directly onto flexible thermally sensitive PET substrates in a single stage ‘green’ process (most other processes require post-deposition annealing) opens the door to large area roll-to-roll production and provides a commercially viable environmentally friendly approach for reducing the concentration of compounds of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater systems, particularly in areas of high solar intensity. The photocatalytic process is reported in detail, including pollutant breakdown products, leaching of the active material and identification of the photogenerated species.
