The efficiency of epoxy/CNT nanocomposites as photocatalyst on adsorbed, aqueous and gas phases is investigated. Epoxy films containing SWNTs in the range between 0.1 and 0.3 wt% are prepared by means of UV-induced polymerization and the achieved materials are used as photocatalysts on adsorbed, aqueous, and gas phases. The activity of this new photocatalytic materials is evaluated in the adsorbed state by using the methylene blue target molecule, in the aqueous phase by following the photodegradation of phenol and 3,5-dichlorophenol, and in the gas phase using nitrogen monoxide as probe molecule. It is demonstrated that the catalyst is suitable for both oxidative and reductive degradation reactions.

Abstract

The efficiency of epoxy/CNT nanocomposites as photocatalyst on adsorbed, aqueous and gas phases is investigated. Epoxy films containing SWNTs in the range between 0.1 and 0.3 wt% are prepared by means of UV-induced polymerization and the achieved materials are used as photocatalysts on adsorbed, aqueous, and gas phases. The activity of this new photocatalytic materials is evaluated in the adsorbed state by using the methylene blue target molecule, in the aqueous phase by following the photodegradation of phenol and 3,5-dichlorophenol, and in the gas phase using nitrogen monoxide as probe molecule. It is demonstrated that the catalyst is suitable for both oxidative and reductive degradation reactions.
