This article discusses the discovery of phosphorescent lithopone on watercolor drawings by American artist John La Farge dated between 1890 and 1905 and the history of lithopone in the pigment industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite having many desirable qualities for use in white watercolor or oil paints, the development of lithopone as an artists’ pigment was hampered by its tendency to darken in sunlight. Its availability to, and adoption by, artists remain unclear, as colormen's trade catalogs were generally not explicit in describing white pigments as containing lithopone. Further, lithopone may be mistaken for lead white during visual examination and its short-lived phosphorescence can be easily missed by the uninformed observer. Phosphorescent lithopone has been documented on only one other work-to-date: a watercolor by Van Gogh. In addition to the history of lithopone's manufacture, the article details the mechanism for its phosphorescence and its identification aided by Raman spectroscopy and spectrofluorimetry.

The production process in a nano-TiO2 factory begins with the selection of high-purity titanium precursors. Through precise control over reaction conditions, including temperature, pressure, and pH levels, scientists can manipulate the formation of either anatase or rutile phases. Advanced techniques such as hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel processes, and chemical vapor deposition are employed to achieve the desired nanoscale dimensions and crystalline forms Advanced techniques such as hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel processes, and chemical vapor deposition are employed to achieve the desired nanoscale dimensions and crystalline forms Advanced techniques such as hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel processes, and chemical vapor deposition are employed to achieve the desired nanoscale dimensions and crystalline forms Advanced techniques such as hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel processes, and chemical vapor deposition are employed to achieve the desired nanoscale dimensions and crystalline formsanatase and rutile nano-tio2 factory.
