Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in conventional photocatalysts, the absorbance in the visible light region is lower than that in the ultraviolet light region, and the quantum efficiency ratio, which is an indicator of light utilization efficiency under ultraviolet light irradiation and visible light irradiation, is about 5 / 1 for ultraviolet light / visible light. Sufficient reaction speed cannot be obtained in the visible light region
Therefore, when these photocatalyst bodies are used in furniture, wall materials, lighting fixtures, electrical products, bathroom components, washstand supplies, kitchen supplies, disposable paper, automotive interior components, other interior components, dental materials, etc., it cannot get adequate response
[0006] In addition, although the above-mentioned prior art can improve the photocatalytic activity of metal oxides in the ultraviolet region, it cannot improve the photocatalytic activity of photocatalyst bodies active in the visible region.
In addition, the technology of supporting noble metals such as platinum (Pt) on the photocatalyst body has the problem of high raw material costs.

Embodiment 1

[0088] 1000 g of titanium oxide (manufactured by Ishihara Sangyo Co., Ltd.: ST01) and 375 g of urea (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were put into a stainless steel container, and heat-treated at 450° C. for 120 minutes while stirring and mixing. Thus, visible-light-responsive titanium oxynitride having a yellow color was produced. 10 g of this titanium oxynitride powder and 90 g of ion-exchanged water were mixed to produce a slurry with a solid content concentration of 10%. Then use a mechanical disperser to make a low-settling slurry.

[0089] On the other hand, copper (II) nitrate hydrate was dissolved in ion-exchanged water to prepare an aqueous solution of a metal salt having a copper concentration of 5%.

[0090] Then, 100 g of the slurry of titanium oxide and 1 g of the aqueous solution of copper nitrate were mixed and stirred for 1 hour to produce a mixed solution of the photocatalyst body and the metal compound. The mixed concentration of copper at this time wa...

Embodiment 2

[0094] 250 g of titanium oxide (manufactured by Ishihara Sangyo Co., Ltd.: ST01) was placed in a quartz container, and heat-treated at 600° C. for 180 minutes while flowing ammonia gas into the container at a flow rate of 1000 sccm. Thus, visible light-responsive titanium oxynitride having a yellow color was produced. The powder thereof was subjected to XPS measurement without being corroded, and a peak derived from an N—Ti bond was observed around 396 eV. 10 g of this titanium oxynitride powder was mixed with 90 g of ion-exchanged water to produce a slurry with a solid content concentration of 10%. Further, a mechanical disperser was used to prepare a low-settling slurry.

[0095] On the other hand, iron (III) nitrate hydrate was dissolved in ion-exchanged water to prepare an aqueous solution of a metal salt having an iron concentration of 5%.

[0096] Then, 100 g of the slurry of titanium oxynitride and 1 g of the aqueous solution of iron nitrate were mixed and stirred for...

Embodiment 3

[0100] A solution in which acetonitrile and titanium tetraisopropoxide were mixed and dissolved in a molar ratio of 20 / 1 was produced. For this solution, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) Gas, for bubbling. After the solution turned black, the bubbling was continued for another 3 hours, and the supply of hydrogen sulfide gas was stopped. Then, the solution was filtered under reduced pressure to obtain a black precipitate.

[0101]Furthermore, the precipitate was re-dispersed in ethanol, and then filtered. After repeating the redispersion of ethanol and filtration three times, it was washed and air-dried to obtain a precursor powder. The precursor powder was heat-treated at 400° C. for 6 hours in humid air. Thus, anatase-type titanium oxynitride powder was obtained. This powder was subjected to XPS measurement without being corroded, and a peak derived from an S—Ti bond was observed around 160 eV. Next, 12 g of the obtained titanium oxynitride powder was mixed with 80 cc of ion-ex...
