(PhysOrg.com) -- Over years of meticulous research into the popular, prototypical catalyst titanium dioxide, a clear view of the atomic-level interactions has emerged, but many of the answers lead to more questions. Three scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory were recently invited to take on the challenge of gathering, analyzing, and summarizing the latest answers and examining the questions about titanium dioxide, specifically the rutile form. Their analysis appears in Progress in Surface Science.
