Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a scandium (Sc)-doped titanium dioxide (TiO 2) semiconductor in the rutile crystal phase. Schematic diagram of TiO 2 facet control and ...

The photocatalytic water splitting process holds appeal for scientists as a solution to both energy and environmental problems. In this process, water is split into oxygen and hydrogen using light ...

Solar energy is clean and abundant, but when the sun isn't shining, you must store the energy in batteries or through a process called photocatalysis. In photocatalytic water splitting, sunlight ...

A comprehensive look at doping photocatalysts in water splitting under visible light is presented. Doping to regulate the band structure of Bi-based composite oxides achieves overall water splitting.

University of Michigan researchers developed a new photocatalytic water splitting system that is reportedly able to reach a 9.2% solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiency. The proposed system uses the higher ...

A group of researchers from Tohoku University, Tokyo University of Science, and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation have made a significant advancement in increasing the efficiency of the photocatalytic ...

Chinese researchers recently found that a near-infrared reflective blending coating had better optical and cooling performance, thereby reducing the absorbed energy of pavement in permafrost regions ...
