What is Photocatalytic Nanotechnology (Titanium Dioxide)?

A new technology is now being used to purify and clean indoor air called Photocatalytic Nanotechnology.

The technology consist of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) crystals, only 40 nanometres in size, which form a molecular machine powered by light. TiO2 is a semiconductor charged by Ultraviolet Photons. When these nano particles are charged, powerful oxidising agents called Hydroxyl Radicals are produced. These free radicals destroy airborne germs and pollutants.

Photocatalyst accelerates the oxidation process in the atmosphere and decomposes and airborne toxic organic matter such as bacteria, parasites and viruses.
