The invention discloses an air flue type photocatalysis air purifier which comprises a shell. At least one photocatalysis structure is arranged inside the shell, and photocatalysis filter screens and an ultraviolet source are arranged in the photocatalysis structure. The air flue type photocatalysis air purifier is characterized in that, in the photocatalysis structure, the number of the photocatalysis filter screens is two, and the whole photocatalysis filter screens are in a back-and-forth zigzag W shape, a fin is arranged between the two photocatalysis filter screens, the fin is in a W shape in the length direction and is transversely connected to the interior of the shell, the width direction of the rib is coincident with the longitudinal direction of the shell, a transparent sleeve arranged in the transverse direction of the shell is installed in the middle of the fin in a penetrated mode, and the ultraviolet source is arranged in the transparent sleeve. The photocatalysis filter screens, the fin and the inner surface of the shell are all coated with photocatalysts. The air flue type photocatalysis air purifier can be installed in an air flue, and extra occupied space is not needed; meanwhile, the effective reaction area of the air flue type photocatalysis air purifier is large, the using efficiency of the ultraviolet source is high, the reaction-mass transferring capacity of the surface of the photocatalysts is high, energy consumption is small, the structure is simple, the reaction efficiency is high, and the air flue type photocatalysis air purifier is convenient to use and install.
