Toyota Central R&D Labs develops new ferrihydrite material that effectively removes ozone from air

Green Car Congress

A) mesoporous two-line ferrihydrite (M2LFh), B) MSIO, C) CIO, D) g-Fe 2 O 3 , E) 5 wt % Fe/ZSM-5, and F) commercial MnO 2. In ozone processes for water cleaning and odor removal, e.g. smoke from vehicle interiors, it could catch the unreacted O 3. Such isolated iron oxide units absorb ozone especially well.
