Abstract
A photothermal composition configured to be used in air filter for destroying bioaerosol particles by converting light energy emitted from a light source into heat energy including a photothermal agent is provided. The present invention also concerns an air filter for collecting the bioaerosol particles in an air flow and destroying said bioaerosol particles deposited thereon, including a photothermal agent which converts light energy emitted from a light source into heat energy.
Claims16
A photothermal composition configured to be used in an air filter for destroying bioaerosol particles by converting a light energy emitted from a light source into a heat energy, comprising a photothermal agent and a fluorophore compound, wherein the photothermal agent is coated with the fluorophore compound.
A photothermal composition configured to be used in an air filter for destroying bioaerosol particles by converting a light energy emitted from a light source into a heat energy, comprising a photothermal agent and a fluorophore compound, wherein an inner lumen of the photothermal agent is loaded with the fluorophore compound.
An air filter for collecting bioaerosol particles in an air flow and destroying the bioaerosol particles deposited on the air filter, comprising a photothermal agent, a nanoclay and a fluorophore compound, wherein the photothermal agent converts a light energy emitted from a light source into a heat energy.
