Brief histroy of Superhydrophilicity of Titania "Akira Fuijishima"
Titania is white powder pigment used in various purpose in day to day life like cosmetics, sunscreens, food, pharmauctic and various application. Mainly Titania was used as Photocatalyst for dye degradation, water splitting, CO2 reduction which applications where most dominant properties of titania was found by Professor Kazuhito Hashimoto and his student Akira Fujishma at University of Tokyo. the history was begun before half centuries. Discovery of Honda-Fujishima Effect Akira Fujishma was a grad student work with his supervisor found out using titania single crystal and copper wire with epoxy resin, when he apply water and passed sunlight through the system he observed air bubbles. He was excited to see the bubbles. then they found out production of oxygen water was separated they separate hydrogen from water. Photocatalysis In 1972, the discovery that TiO2 photocatalysed decomposition of water was announced. With white pigment showed an great surprise Fujishima defensed his do
