The Light Clean Revolution
Aoki Shin'ichi explains how recent developments in photocatalytic technology will make life in the twenty-first century safer and more convenient
A new technology developed by University of Tokyo professor Fujishima Akira is attracting a lot of attention. Fujishima uses photocatalysts and irradiation to break down chemicals. In addition to helping make anti-bacterial tile and air-purification devices, other promising applications of this photocatalyst technology continue to come to light. Japanese scientists are leading the world in every area of this field from basic research to applications.
