Photocatalysis
Photocatalysis is a technology that decomposes and degrades pollutants by exposing them to light rays on the surface of a catalyst, usually titanium dioxide (TiO2). This method effectively eliminates volatile organic compounds, molds, bacteria, viruses, and even odors.
Currently, photocatalysis is primarily used in the automotive sector, but it is beginning to appear in household appliances, particularly in some UV lamp air purifiers or UV filtration systems.
The final process produces mainly water and carbon dioxide, making it an environmentally friendly solution.
