The photocatalysts of TiO2 nanowires array film(TiO2/AAO)and TiO2/glass film,TiO2/fiberglass cloth film were prepared by sol-gel chemistry and were characterized with XRD,electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) and specific surface area measurement. The photocatalytic activity for degradation of gaseous formaldehyde at different initial concentration were also studied and compared.The results showed that the TiO2 nanowires was uniform
about 26 nm in diameter and 1.2 μm in length. The TiO2/AAO photocatalyst with smaller density and high specific surface area had the greatest reaction rate constant k and Langmuir adsorption constant K
and more adsorption active sites for gaseous formaldehyde at low concentration under UV light as compared with other supports.The high specific surface area photocatalyst played a bigger role in enriching gas and was more beneficial in enhancing photodegradation efficiency for low concentration gas.
