The idea behind photocatalytic purification comes from nature itself. Hydroxyls are nature's primary method of cleaning contaminants in our atmosphere using only sunlight and water vapor. Our planet has relied on these mechanisms for billions of years!

Hydroxyls are highly-reactive (radical) molecules formed naturally when UV light from the sun splits apart water molecules in the air. The resulting hydroxyl radicals instantly oxidize pollutants nearby. Artificially-generated hydroxyls perform the same cleansing function on indoor air and cause no harm to people, pets, plants or materials.

Akira Fujishima discovered the photocatalytic properties of nanosized titanium dioxide in 1967 and has been studied & improved upon even since. The technology was most notably used in developing air and surface purification systems for Space Shuttles by NASA. There are also various patents and technology in the making that use this same process for a variety of air purification purposes such as the TiO2 infused concrete shown below.
