The objectives of this review paper are to revisit the fundamentals of photocatalysis, especially its thermodynamics and kinetics, which have not been reexamined in recent studies, to clarify the problems, if any, that prevent developments in the field of photocatalysis, and to present insights for future progress.'><TR BGCOLOR=#663333><TD COLSPAN= VALIGN=middle popup_e> <SPAN CLASS=large><FONT COLOR=white><A NAME=''></A>■ ZPCCP・2014 (PCCP Perspective)　《149》 REVIEW［accepted 2013/11/20］</FONT> <IMG SRC='/image/misc/huscap.png' HEIGHT=15 VARIGN=bottom></SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN=middle BGCOLOR=#FFFFDD><B>Ohtani, B.</B>, Revisiting the Fundamental Physical Chemistry in Heterogeneous Photocatalysis: Its Thermodynamics and Kinetics, <I>Phys.

The properties of the samples were characterized by DRS, XPS, XRD, FE-SEM and STEM. The modified samples exhibited activity under visible light and enhanced activity under UV irradiation for 2-propanol and acetic acid oxidation, respectively. The time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) analysis indicated that enhanced activity (2.5-8-fold enhancement depending on titania) under UV irradiation was caused by an electron storage in metallic nanoparticles (NPs), and therefore decreasing the recombination between charge carriers. The action spectrum (AS) analysis proved that localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silver NPs induced the photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. The increase of antimicrobial properties under visible light irradiation indicated that not only intrinsic properties of silver in the dark, but also plasmonic properties of Ag@TiO2 were responsible for overall bacteria killing. The evolution of carbon dioxide under both irradiation ranges indicated mineralization of bacteria cells, and therefore possible application of silver-modified titania for decomposition of chemical and biological pollutants.'><TR BGCOLOR=#663333><TD COLSPAN= VALIGN=middle popup_e> <SPAN CLASS=large><FONT COLOR=white><A NAME=''></A>■ SILVE・2015 (full paper)　《72》 VISIBL_A［published online 2014/11/20］</FONT> </SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN=middle BGCOLOR=#FFFFDD><B>Kowalska, E.</B>; <B>Wei, Z.</B>; <B>Karabiyik, B.</B>; Herissan, A.; <B>Janczarek, M.</B>; <B>Markowska-Szczupak, A.</B>; Remita, H.; <B>Ohtani, B.</B>, Silver-modified titania with enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties under UV and visible light irradiation, <I>Catal.

The observed energy-resolved distribution of electron traps indicated that the surface was amorphized by braying to give rutile-core amorphous-shell structure and the amorphous layer was partly recrystallized by post-calcination leaving grain boundaries in the surface layers, both of which may cause the observed markedly decreased photocatalytic activities.'><TR BGCOLOR=#663333><TD COLSPAN= VALIGN=middle popup_e> <SPAN CLASS=large><FONT COLOR=white><A NAME=''></A>■ BRRUL・2021 (Letter)　《16》 ETRAPD［received 2020/11/20］</FONT><IMG SRC='/image/misc/oaLogo.png' HEIGHT=15 VARIGN=bottom> </SPAN></TD></TR><TR><TD VALIGN=middle BGCOLOR=#FFFFDD><B>Chen, G.</B>; <B>Takashima, M.</B>*; <B>Ohtani, B.</B>, Direct amorphous-structure analysis: How are surface/bulk structure and activity of titania photocatalyst particles changed by milling?, <I>Chem.
