Application example: In indoor air purification devices, high permeability nano infrared excitation media are coated on porous carriers to produce air purification filter cartridges. When air passes through the filter, the infrared excitation medium absorbs infrared light and generates heat, causing volatile organic compounds inside the board to evaporate and be adsorbed or oxidized by the adsorbent or catalyst in the filter, thereby purifying the air.
