The invention provides a functional material for visually degrading
formaldehyde and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) at normal temperature and normal pressure. The functional material comprises a loading agent, an
oxidizing agent, a catalyst, a reinforcing agent and a ligand. The reaction efficiency is improved through the synergistic strengthening effect of the loading agent, the
oxidizing agent, the catalyst, the reinforcing agent and the ligand, so that the material has an excellent effect of degrading
formaldehyde and VOCs at normal temperature and normal pressure, the structure and color of the material are changed before and after the reaction with
formaldehyde and VOCs, and the
reaction speed and degree can be directly observed and indicated by naked eyes. The material prepared by the invention not only can degrade formaldehyde, but also can degrade various VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Due to the synergistic strengthening effect, all the components are evenly distributed, firmly combined and resistant to water and
moisture, the material can be made into a
solid state or a
liquid state, and the problems of performance degradation, structural damage and the like after a
solid catalyst absorbs water are essentially solved. The functional material is used in the fields of
environmental protection and health, and is especially important for treatment of
pollution gas and industrial VOCs in space.
