An object of the invention of the present application is to provide a photocatalyst-carrying structure provided with a carrier and a photocatalyst layer carried on the carrier with an adhesive layer there between, wherein the adhesive layer for carrying the photocatalyst does not contain a volatile organic compound as solvent. An aqueous silicone-modified resin is preferably used for the adhesive layer, and the aqueous silicone-modified resin is preferably a resin obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer in the presence of an emulsifier in an aqueous medium, and is further modified with silicone using a compound having a silicone structure.

A method for producing a photocatalyst-carrying structure includes coating a carrier with a composition for forming an adhesive layer, followed by drying, to form the adhesive layer; and coating the adhesive layer with a composition for forming a photocatalyst layer. The composition for forming the adhesive layer is formed by mixing an aqueous silicone-modified resin, 2% by weight to 15% by weight of a deposition assistant, 10% by weight to 40% by weight of an organic solvent, and water. The aqueous silicone-modified resin is formed by emulsion polymerization of a monomer in the presence of an emulsifier in an aqueous medium, and by further modification with silicone using a compound having a silicone structure.
