Abstract

A method for depositing a photocatalytic coating on a support, the method having the steps: a) providing an aqueous and/or alcoholic suspension of nanoparticles of a semiconducting material, b) providing a sol in an aqueous and/or alcoholic solution of a hydrolyzed organosilane, c) mixing the suspension and the sol and proceeding with deposition of the obtained mixture on the support to be covered, d) performing a drying operation, e) and optionally producing an illumination of the obtained coating after drying at one wavelength at least causing activation of the semiconducting material, so as to remove at least 3% of the organic groups initially present in the coating and bound to the silicon atoms through a Si—C bond; as well as coatings with photocatalytic properties, materials, notably textiles, covered with such a coating and the use of such coatings and materials for photocatalysis.
