What Are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Air Purification?
Nanotechnology can be applied in various air purification systems, including:
1. Air Filters: Incorporating nanofibers or nanoparticles to capture fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). 2. Photocatalytic Systems: Using metal oxide nanoparticles to degrade volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants under light exposure. 3. Electrostatic Precipitators: Enhanced with nanomaterials to improve the collection efficiency of airborne particles. 4. Antimicrobial Coatings: Utilizing silver nanoparticles to prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses on surfaces and in the air.
