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 ...

Photocatalysis is a well-established chemical process: chemical reactions are induced by sunlight in the presence of a catalyst. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), which is very common as the pigment called ...

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 ...

Researchers develop an economic and energy-efficient nanomaterial that can degrade formaldehyde using UV light Indoor air pollution poses serious health risks due to contaminants like formaldehyde.
