TOKYO, Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have discovered superconductivity in thin films of titanium oxide (Ti4O7) and gamma-phase trititanium pentoxide (γ-Ti3O5). The achievement advances fundamental knowledge of nanomaterials that could one day be used in the development of ultrafast computers. Many of us are familiar with titanium […]

The photocatalytic properties of anatase, one of the three naturally occurring forms of titanium dioxide, were discovered in Japan in the late 1960s. Under the influence of the UV-radiation in sunlight, it can decompose organic pollutants such as bacteria, fungi and nicotine, and some inorganic materials into carbon dioxide. The catalytic effect is caused by […]
For the past several months, Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) prices have continued to increase around the world. There are many factors that have contributed to these fluctuating pricesL A few TiO2 manufacturers have shut down or reduced production due to environmental issues There was a fire at a major TiO2 plant Demand for feedstock of ilmenite […]
Research on the application of titanium dioxide as a photocatalyst has been carried out in many fields since it was discovered that this substance causes water splitting when exposed to ultraviolet light. For example, a titanium dioxide photocatalyst has been put into practical use for the decomposition of poisonous gas, etc. However, due to the […]
The discovery, which has previously only be theoretically-predicted by scientists, helps explain the interactions between single oxygen molecules and titanium dioxide, giving the research teams a better idea of how the compound functions. The scientists also say that it could point to further enhancement of the compound, as well as different functions, including the possibility […]
Imagine a city that could devour the very pollution that it creates. Such was the scenario envisioned by scientists in the Netherlands, who have found that using specially treated pavement on city streets can cut air pollution nearly in half. The researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology installed concrete paving which included titanium dioxide – […]
