The present disclosure relates to a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst for adsorption and decomposition of a volatile organic compound, a method for preparing the same and a method for removing a volatile organic compound using a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst. More specifically, a hierarchical pore structure can be formed and a pore size can be controlled by preparing a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst by coordination bonding a titanium precursor to a mixture of two carboxylic acid compounds having different electronegativity, as organic linkers, at an optimized ratio. The titanium-organic framework photocatalyst exhibits improved efficiency of adsorbing and decomposing a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can improve the photocatalytic degradation rate of the volatile organic compound (VOC).

A clothes dryer using an LED light source is proposed. Instead of using a heater, a blowing fan, and a heat exchanger, the clothes dryer employs a plurality of LED light source modules provided in a body and efficiently arranged therein and an air circulation structure of an air circulation part having a blowing fan arranged in the inner rear side thereof, and is configured to sterilize air through an air sterilization part, absorb and dry moisture by a ceramic filter, and then finally discharge the air to the outside through an exhaust fan. Therefore, without requiring a separate water discharge treatment process in an existing method, the clothes dryer can achieve efficient drying of clothes and drying of clothes without damage.
