HLe showed photocatalytic activity of H2 production, similar to ordinary titanium(IV) oxide powders. The rate and time course of H2 evolution by HLe depended strongly on the kind of alcohol. Detailed investigation revealed that the photocatalytic activity was regulated by the shape and size of the alcohol, due to the selection of adsorption at the interlayer of HLe.'><TR BGCOLOR=#663333><TD COLSPAN= VALIGN=middle popup_e> <SPAN CLASS=large><FONT COLOR=white><A NAME=''></A>■ HLE・2000 (full paper)　《14》 ACTIVE［accepted 2000/09/19］</FONT> </SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN=middle BGCOLOR=#FFFFDD><B>Ohtani, B.</B>*; <B>Ikeda, S.</B>; Nakayama, H.; Nishimoto, S.-i., Shape- and Size-Selective Photocatalytic Reactions by Layered Titanic Acid Powder Suspended in Deaerated Aqueous Alcohol Solutions, <I>Phys.

Here, for the first time, negligible photocatalytic activity of amorphous Bi2WO6 owing to the fast geminate recombination of electron-hole pairs and the high quantum efficiency of Bi2WO6 crystallites under visible light were demonstrated by action spectrum analysis and time-resolved infrared (IR) absorption measurements. Crystallization of the amorphous phase provided a red shift of the photoabsorption edge and marked increase in the lifetime of photoexcited electrons, resulting in increase of photocatalytic activity.'><TR BGCOLOR=#663333><TD COLSPAN= VALIGN=middle popup_e> <SPAN CLASS=large><FONT COLOR=white><A NAME=''></A>■ ACB・2008 (communication)　《223》 VISIBL_B［received 2008/09/19］</FONT> </SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN=middle BGCOLOR=#FFFFDD><B>Amano, F.</B>; Yamakata, A.; <B>Nogami, K.</B>; Osawa, M.; <B>Ohtani, B.</B>*, Visible Light Responsive Pristine Metal Oxide Photocatalyst: Enhancement of Activity by Crystallization under Hydrothermal Treatment, <I>J.

First one is statistical analysis of correlation between physical properties (BET specific surface area, density of lattice defects, primary particle size, secondary particle size, presence of anatase and rutile crystallites) and photocatalytic activities for five kinds of reactions (oxygen evolution from silver salt solutions, hydrogen evolution from aqueous methanol, oxidative decomposition of acetic acid in an aqueous solution, decomposition of acetaldehyde in air, and synthesis of pipecolinic acid from lysine) to find out the influence of each property independently.  Second one is comparison of photocatalytic activities of Degussa P25, isolated anatase and rutile particles, and P25 reconstructed from the isolated anatase and rutile crystallites (and commercial amorphous titania) to prove the absence of synergetic effect of co-presence of anatase and rutile in P25.
