Photocatalytic coatings employ semiconductor materials, most commonly titanium dioxide, to harness light energy for the degradation of organic contaminants and to induce surface wettability changes.

In a recent article published in Coatings, researchers from China investigated the synthesis and photocatalytic properties of bamboo-like MnO₂/TiO₂ nanotube arrays (NTAs). The study highlighted the ...

Photocatalytic water splitting is a clean energy technology that uses sunlight to split water into oxygen and hydrogen in order to produce green hydrogen—a clean fuel—without relying on fossil fuels.

The Delhi government has initiated experiments on photocatalytic coatings with IIT Madras to address the problem of air pollution that is very severe, with the emphasis on the smog-eating surfaces on ...
