Couverture de l’ouvrage Nanostructured Photocatalysts

Nanostructured Photocatalysts: From Materials to Applications in Solar Fuels and Environmental Remediation addresses the different properties of nanomaterials-based heterogeneous photocatalysis. Heterogeneous nanostructured photocatalysis represents an interesting and viable technique to address issues of climate change and global energy supply. Sustainable hydrogen (H2) fuel production from water via semiconductor photocatalysis, driven by solar energy, is regarded as a viable and sustainable solution to address increasing energy and environmental issues. Similarly, photocatalytic reduction of CO2 with water for the production of hydrocarbons could also be a viable solution. Sections cover band gap tuning, high surface area, the short diffusion path of carriers, and more.

1. Design of efficient photocatalysts through band gap engineering 2. Photochemical synthesis of nanoscale multicomponent metal species and their application to photocatalytic and electrochemical water splitting 3. Development of photocatalysts and system optimization for CO2 photoreduction 4. Heterogeneous photocatalysis for water purification 5. Air purification applications using photocatalysis 6. Substrate and support materials for photocatalysis 7. Two-dimensional materials for photocatalytic water splitting and CO2 reduction 8.  Photocatalytic inactivation of microorganisms in water 9. Plasmon-induced photocatalytic transformations
