Design and development of second-generation titanium oxide photocatalysts to better our environment—approaches in realizing the use of visible light by Masakazu Anpo, Masato Takeuchi

“…The design and development of second-generation titanium oxide photocatalysts which absorb UV-visible light and work as efficient photocatalysts under irradiation of light in the UV-visible light regions were successfuly carriedout by applying advancedmetal ion-implantation techniques. Titanium oxide catalysts were implanted with various transition-metal ions by a high-voltage acceleration technique, then calcined in O2 at around 723–823 K to produce photocatalysts capable of absorbing visible light, the extent of such redshift depending on the kind and amount of metal ion implanted. …”
