Composite film with photocatalytic oxidability and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite film with photocatalytic oxidability and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing titanium dioxide / carbon nanotube powder through glue melting and condensation, and uniformly dispersing the titanium dioxide / carbon nanotube composite material into acetic acid solution of chitosan with the chitosan as a crosslinking agent, wherein the mass ratio of the chitosan and the titanium dioxide / carbon nanotube is 1 to 10, thereby obtaining the catalytic film made of titanium dioxide / carbon nanotube / chitosan material. The composite film prepared in the method is uniform, the preparation method is simple, the raw materials are cheap, and the sources are rich. The defect structure of the surface of the raw carbon nanotube provides growing points for the growth of titanium dioxide grains. In addition, the adsorbed organic substances and intermediates of photodegradation have the function of coordinating with functional groups of the chitosan. The composite catalytic film provided by the invention can be used for photocatalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under the visible light irradiation with the wavelength more than 350nm, and can be used as the air purification agent, the industrial waste water treatment agent and the like.

[0004] There are mainly two types of composite material catalysts prepared in the past. One is carbon nanotube / titanium dioxide composite material. The prepared composite material is in powder form.

The other is the preparation of titanium dioxide / chitosan composite materials. This method has high requirements on light due to the photocatalytic degradation of the preparation, and because the specific surface area of ​​the prepared composite material is small, the catalytic effect of catalytic pollutants is not ideal.
