PCCP's first 10th Anniversary Article is a Perspective article covering the important topic of photocatalysis. The article was written by Avelino Corma, Hermenegildo Garcia and Carmela Aprile. 

Avelino Corma is a professor and director of the Institute of Chemical Technology at Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. He is also a member of the PCCP Advisory Board. Corma's extensive and versatile contribution to catalysis research has recently been recognised by the American Chemical Society who honoured Corma with the Gabor A. Somorjai Award for Creative Research in Catalysis. 

Corma's PCCP Perspective article tackles the crucial task of improving the photocatalytic activity of titania. 'In our article we have commented on recent strategies that are based on spatial structuring (rather than chemical doping) of titania to enhance its photoactivity,' explained Corma. 'This Perspective illustrates the potential of combining physical and chemical concepts in developing a material and its spatial arrangement,' he added. 

As a member of PCCP's Advisory Board, Corma welcomes the broad outlook of the journal. 'There is a need for a common dissemination medium with readers and contributors from both the physics and chemistry worlds. PCCP can serve those researchers at the border between both communities,' he said.
