Abstract:
There is disclosed a photocatalyst-coated body which is superior in weather resistance, noxious gas decomposability, and various coating properties (such as ultraviolet absorptivity, transparency and film strength) while preventing corrosion of a substrate (in particular an organic substrate), and a photocatalyst coating liquid therefor. The photocatalyst-coated body comprises a substrate and a photocatalyst layer provided on the substrate. The photocatalyst layer comprises photocatalyst particles of 1 part or more by mass and less than 20 parts by mass; inorganic oxide particles of 70 parts or more by mass and less than 99 parts by mass; and a hydrolyzable silicone of zero parts or more by mass and less than 10 parts by mass, provided that a total amount of the photocatalyst particles, the inorganic oxide particles and the hydrolyzable silicone is 100 parts by mass.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a photocatalyst member that, even when used in a form where warm water resistance and acid resistance are required, can exert a photocatalytic decomposition ability over a long period of time. The member having a photocatalytic decomposition ability comprises: a base material; and photocatalytic metal oxide particles immobilized on the base material, the base material having a surface treated with silicification flame treatment, the photocatalytic metal oxide particles are immobilized with a silicon-type binder on the base material on the surface treated with silicification flame treatment.
Abstract:
Disclosed is use of a composite material including a transparent photocatalyst layer that can allow a design of a substrate to be utilized and, at the same time, can exert a photocatalytic decomposition function while effectively suppressing a silicone contamination-derived appearance change over a long period of time. The composite material includes a photocatalyst layer. The photocatalyst layer includes photocatalyst particles and inorganic oxide particles where the total mass of the photocatalyst particles and the inorganic oxide particles is 80% by mass (exclusive) to 100% by mass (inclusive) when the mass of the whole photocatalyst layer is presumed to be 100% by mass. The number mean particle diameter of particulate components constituting the photocatalyst layer is less than 90 nm as calculated by measuring the length of any 100 particles present in a field of view under a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 200000 times. The photocatalyst layer is transparent and has a thickness of not more than 3 µm. The photocatalyst is excited by sunlight to decompose substances, thereby reducing or preventing silicone contamination on the surface of the photocatalyst layer.
