Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode
Akira Fujishima,Kenichi Honda +1 more
TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium dioxide photocatalysis
TL;DR: A review of the current progress in the area of TiO 2 photocatalysis, mainly photocatalytic air purification, sterilization and cancer therapy is discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
TiO2 photocatalysis and related surface phenomena
TL;DR: The field of photocatalysis can be traced back more than 80 years to early observations of the chalking of titania-based paints and to studies of the darkening of metal oxides in contact with organic compounds in sunlight as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced amphiphilic surfaces
Rong Wang,Kazuhito Hashimoto,Akira Fujishima,Makota Chikuni,Eiichi Kojima,Atsushi Kitamura,Mitsuhide Shimohigoshi,Toshiya Watanabe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the photogeneration of a highly amphiphilic (both hydrophilic and oleophilic) titanium dioxide surface was reported, and the unique character of this surface was ascribed to the microstructured composition of hydrophilicity of the phases, produced by ultraviolet irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
TiO2 Photocatalysis: A Historical Overview and Future Prospects
TL;DR: In this paper, the progress of the scientific research on TiO2 photocatalysis as well as its industrial applications are reviewed, and future prospects of this field mainly based on the present authors' work.
