| Description | Experience with several applications projects in Europe utilizing photocatalytic nanosurfaces are leading to conclusion that successful industrial commercialization of photocatalytic systems is strongly dependent on the development of testing methods accepted as ISO or CEN standards to ensure the advertised function and thus worldwide acceptance. This is also one of the main objective of the European COST 540 project "Photocatalytic technologies and novel nanosurfaces materials critical issues", which is understood as European platform to group the existing European teams focusing on the development of photocatalytic nanomaterials and standard photoactivity testing methods, In the present talk a brief overview of the state of art of applications and testing methods in the field of photocatalysis performed in the frame of COST540 and worldwide will be given. |
