The Mystery of Titanium Dioxide Cracked

July 10, 2013 | 2 Comments

Researchers at University College London (UCL) have broken through to understanding of the properties of titanium dioxide known as ‘titania’ that is hoped to be used in photoelectrochemical cells known as PECs. The basis of the research clears up a decades old misunderstanding that’s clouded the knowledge of how mixed phase titania catalysts operate.  Mixed […]

New Information on Splitting Water with Sunlight

July 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Currently titanium oxide-based sunlight energized photo catalysis is the most efficient, yet poorly understood conversion process for hydrogen generation by water splitting using solar energy.  Making use of solar to process water to hydrogen is considered a major challenge and goal because it offers a direct sun to fuel solution. Scientists of the KIT Institute […]
