Materials Science in Photocatalysis provides a complete overview of the different semiconductor materials-from titania to third-generation photocatalysts-examining the increasing complexity and novelty of materials science in photocatalytic materials. The book describes the most recommended synthesis procedure for each of material and the suitable characterization techniques for determining the optical, structural, morphological, and physical-chemical properties. The most suitable applications for each photocatalyst are described in detail-from environmental applications for wastewater treatment and gaseous effluents depollution, to water splitting, CO2 ?xation, selective organic synthesis, coupling reactions, and other selective transformations, under both UV light and visible-light irradiation. Includes a complete overview of the different semiconductor materials used as photocatalysts Describes methods of preparation and characterization of photocatalysts, as well as details about their most suitable applications Suggests new possibility for preparing effective photocatalysts INDICE: Part 1 Introduction 1.
