Photocatalysis And Environment

Editors: Colmenares, Juan Carlos, Xu, Yi-Jun (Eds.)
Discusses the principles and fundamentals of photocatalysis and highlights the potential green-chemistry-oriented applications of nanocomposite photocatalysts
Presents research on TiO2-based photocatalysts, especially on the one-dimensional TiO2 nanotube based photocatalysts
Introduces the latest advances in exploiting new photocatalyst alternatives to TiO2
Gives a synthetic consideration of the proper design of photocatalytic reactors and modeling of light
Elucidates the mechanisms and dynamics of surface photocatalysis

The fundamental knowledge and the frontier research progress in typical photocatalytic materials, such as TiO2-based and non-TiO2-based photocatalysts, are included in this book. Methods to improve the photocatalytic efficiency and to provide a hint for the rational design of the new photocatalysts are covered.

This book demonstrates the basic and fundamental aspects of nanotechnology and potential application as a photocatalysis in multiple application especially in environment and energy harvesting.

This book demonstrates the basic and fundamental aspects of nanotechnology and potential application as a photocatalysis in multiple application especially in environment and energy harvesting.

This book describes the photocatalytic mechanism, factors affecting photocatalytic activity, design and preparation of different kinds of nanostructured photocatalysts, and their applications in the environmental and energy fields. Further, it illustrates a broad range of modification methods including ion-doping, heterojunction, noble metal deposition, morphological control and sensitizations, which are used to extend the light absorption range of photocatalysts and reduce recombination between electrons and holes. Promising applications include water splitting, contaminant decomposition and photocatalytic reduction of CO2, which are closely related to environmental redemption and new energy development. The book offers an intriguing and useful guide for a broad readership in various fields of catalysis, material sciences, environment and energy.
