Self actuated photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method and the functionality such as antibacterial and antifungal of shoes insole coated with it was evaluated without light. Self actuated photocatalyst is activated by light longer than 420 nm, and its particle structure is not spherical, but laminar. Antibacterial property of self-actuated photocatalyst coated shoes insole showed more than 99.9 % decrease as excellent as fungal hyphae growth was not detected.
