Fujishima and Honda discovered a water splitting phenomenon in their experiment on the electrochemical photolysis of water used semiconductor electrode [1]. During their experiment, Fujishima and Honda discovered a photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 and began testing this semiconductor as a photocatalyst. Since then the development of the photocatalysis mechanism involving the semiconductor material as a photocatalyst to decompose the organic dyes began to increase very
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
