AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for easy manufacturing of small particles that have specific shapes or sizes. These tiny particles are made up from zinc oxide (Zr02) grains joined together by metal bonds at their edges. They show improved photo catalyst performance when exposed to UV rays on an indoor surface due to increased absorbance compared to traditional materials like titanium dioxide powder. Additionally, this modification improves the ability of these fine particles to break down organic molecules into smaller compounds called oxygen gas during photosynthesis process. Overall, it provides technical benefits such as lower costs, ease of use, flexibility in designing structures, and enhanced effectiveness over existing methods.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to developing cost-effective and efficiently active catalyst material for use in splitting water molecules producing hydrogen without causing environmental pollution or global warming issues. Current methods involve expensive noble metals like silver, which have limitations in terms of absorption range and electron conduction capacity. To address this challenge new ways were proposed including modifying zinc oxides through various techniques involving solvothermal reactions at very small scales.
