report, as of concept, presents the results of oxygenation of human blood using photocatalyfic reaction (at lambda = 352 nm) involving the semiconductor thin film junction: tin doped indium oxide (ITO)/nano titanium oxide (TiO2 in anatase structure). These thin films were prepared at room temperature (300 K) on quartz, using reactive DC Magnetron sputtering techniques from pure metallic targets. The results indicate that when 10.0 mL of blood was exposed to ITO/ nano TiO2. (14.32 cm(2) surface area) at a wavelength of 352 nm for 120 minutes, the absolute increase in the whole blood oxygen content was 10.13 mL of oxygen per 100.0 mL of blood. This experiment, to our knowledge, is the first of its kind on human blood.
