What Are Some Common Catalysts Used in Disinfection?
Several catalysts have been explored for disinfection purposes. Some of these include:
Titanium dioxide (TiO2): A widely studied photocatalyst that is effective under UV light. Silver nanoparticles: Known for their antimicrobial properties, often used in combination with other catalysts. Copper oxide (CuO): Effective against a broad range of pathogens and can be used in various forms. Zinc oxide (ZnO): Another photocatalyst that works under UV light and has antimicrobial properties.
