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.

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.
