Abstract

Herein, the first multi-purpose antifouling and foul-release photocatalytic coating based on ORMOSIL thin films doped with nanoflower-like Bi₂WO₆ is described. Irradiation with visible light of the new films immersed in water produces significant amounts of H₂O₂ by photocatalytic oxidation of water, and allows the degradation of (bio)organic pollutants at the outer surface of the xerogel film.
