" Honda-Fujishima effect" is a well-known chemical phenomenon closely related to photocatalysis and the paper published in Nature in 1972 had undoubtedly promoted research activity of photocatalysis but not an origin of heterogeneous photocatalysis in the bibliographic sense (Ref. 3(a)).

This stoichiometry was clarified for the first time by the author's group and reported as, Before submission to this journal, we submitted a part of the experimental results to Chemistry Letters as the first paper in the author's career in the field of photocatalysis, but the paper was rejected presumably due to a reviewer's comment that the content had been reported in a Russian journal without showing bibliographic data (We could not find this.). To submit the results as a full paper, additional experiments were carried out to support the stoichiometry. For example, an oxygen-isotope experiment was performed and showed the origin of molecular oxygen to be water. As a result, we were able to have the paper published, and it has been cited more than 100 times, including recent citations. This is an example of rejection of a submitted paper not always being disadvantageous for the authors.

This paper claimed inappropriate use of organic dyes as test compounds for visible light-sensitive photocatalysts. Citation of this paper was not expected at all, since the authors using methylene blue (MB) as a model compound for photocatalytic reaction never want to refer to this and, on the other hand, those who do not use MB need not to refer to this. However, there has been an appreciable number of citations and, to the author's surprise, approximately half of the citations of this paper were for reasonable use of MB, indicating that authors of those papers did not read the paper.

This paper showed that the rate of photocatalytic reaction in the presence of molecular oxygen, i.e., photocatalytic oxidative decomposition, may strongly depend on the intensity of light irradiation, while the rate of reaction in the absence of oxygen seems to be almost independent of light intensity.
