I would like to create in-house air purifiers that use Samsung's Virus Zero technology. In this way, the air in hospital environments could be sanitized easily, quickly and safely. In addition, this technology could be implemented for battery-powered personal respirators for doctors and people at the forefront of the Coronavirus emergency. But I need help from a chemical and electrical point of view. The technology uses a ceramic plate to produce 4h2o -> 2h2o + o2 + 4h + (+ electrons) from water vapor in the air, what material can this plate be made of? how should it be done? what voltage do you need?
there is also an electrode for the production of electrons which combined with h + + e- -> h and with o2 + e- -> (o2) -. What material should this electrode be made of? what voltage should it have? Finally, if you combine, you should get hoo that neautralizes viruses.I leave you a presentation where on page 2 you can see the chemical process behind. This project serves everyone in this period of spread of the virus. thanks
Dear Alessandro Salvemini,
Good research,
Actually if you think that then its 100% possible.
I have no research in this field but now start search on this topic. Its possible but now i only find that how its works on zero gravity.
Hope these links will be beneficial for you.

Sadly, many of these virus air cleaners are just marketing gimmicks. If you look at the settling rate of many aerosols (where the virus particles are) they are similar to the elimination rates shown by the companies selling these products. If someone coughs in a room and someone else is in the same room, an elimination rate of less than 10 seconds is pretty useless. With elimination rates of at least 10 minutes, well, you get the point. And the fact that you have a fan increasing the convective circulation in the room doesn't make things any better. In order to protect people from viral sources you must capture at least 99.97% of the infected air and provide nearly instantaneous elimination of the viral load. This is one of the reasons that this continues to spread so fast... We are not providing the right protection to healthcare workers 95% (N95 masks) is not sufficient.
I think that UV light and ozone (created by it or produced by specific devices using electric discharges) would be useful. I do not know the speed of virus elimination.
By the way, the only source now of UV lights and ozonisers here in Milan is Amazon, if they are not over.
