Photocatalytic splitting of water

Essentially, photocatalyzed reactions have generated considerable interest after the photocatalytic splitting of water on TiO electrodes was first demonstrated by Fujishima and Honda in 1972. Subsequently, various kinds of photocatalysts have been employed for hydrogen production and remediation of pollutants from water. 

In 1972, Fujishima and Honda 185-187) opened a new research field in heterogeneous photocatalysis with their discovery of the photocatalytic splitting of water on TiO2 electrodes. Thereafter, TiOj, in part because of its high stability and lack of... 

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a technology that has been extensively studied for about three decades, since Fujishima and Honda discovered the photocatalytic splitting of water on Ti02 electrodes in 1972.
