The successful photochemical splitting of water with a TiO2 electrode has established that TiO2 has to be considered as one of the most important semiconductor photocatalysts. This photocatalyst has ...

Photocatalysis: Gently depositing nitrogen atoms on the surface of TiO 2 makes the material active across a broader range of wavelengths of light ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Photocatalysis—a chemical reaction driven by light in the presence of a photocatalyst—is poised to play a key role in next-generation technologies, including hydrogen production ...

Scientists have uncovered the hidden properties of titanium dioxide, one of the most promising materials for light-conversion technology. Anatase TiO 2 is involved in a wide range of applications, ...

Airports, highways and civic structures are serving as testbeds for a patented technology that uses titanium dioxide to capture pollutants, particularly nitrogen oxides, in pavements—creating ...

A little disorder goes a long way, especially when it comes to harnessing the sun's energy. Scientists have jumbled the atomic structure of the surface layer of titanium dioxide nanocrystals, creating ...

A new water-treatment technique that combines two expensive methods could prove a cheaper and more efficient way to remove hard-to-clean contaminants. The technology combines photocatalysis, which ...
