Abstract
This paper presents the results of developing a generator of chemically active oxygen species for air disinfection and purification for agricultural applications. The main functional element of the generator is a new highly efficient oxide photocatalyst of the Cu/ZnO-ZnAl2O4 system. The use of this photocatalyst ensures intensive generation of chemically active singlet oxygen, purification and disinfection of ambient air, and preservation of the high quality and freshness of agricultural products.
