The design and development of second-generation titanium oxide photocatalysts able to operate under visible light irradiation by applying a metal ion-implantation method

Unique second-generation titanium oxide photocatalysts enabling effective and efficient reactions not only under ultraviolet (UV) but also visible light irradiation have been successfully designed and developed by applying a metal ion-implantation method. With these second-generation titanium oxide photocatalysts, solar beams are absorbed up to 25-30% more efficiently, allowing their large scale use for the reduction of enviromental toxins.
