Abstract:
A photocatalytic system having enhanced photo efficiency/photonic efficacy is provided that includes a thin nucleation material coated on a substrate. The nucleation material enhances lattice matching for a subsequently deposited photocatalytic active material. Such a photocatalytic system may be used as a self-cleaning surface in an application where removal of fingerprints and other residue is desired. In certain aspects, the nucleation material comprises aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and the photocatalytic material comprises an anatase phase of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) deposited over the nucleation material. A photocatalytic activity of the system is ≥about 50% above a comparative photocatalytic activity where the photocatalytic active material is disposed directly on the substrate. Methods of making such photocatalytic systems are also provided.

Claim (Index 16):
The self-cleaning photocatalytic system of  claim 12 , wherein the exposed surface defines a plurality of islands of the photocatalytic active material distributed within a low surface energy polymeric material, wherein the nucleation coating is disposed beneath the photocatalytic active material, but is absent in the regions where the low surface energy polymeric material is present.
