About This Book
UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation
Comprehensive resource detailing fundamentals of photocatalysis, clean energy production, and pollution treatment, as well as recent developments in each field
UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation: Materials, Reaction Mechanisms, and Applications provides current developments in photocatalytic reactions for both inorganic and organic-based materials which operate under UV-visible light or sunlight irradiation, with a focus on the fundamentals and applications in clean energy production and pollution remediation.
The text curates interesting and important research surrounding photocatalysis for hydrogen production, including the fundamentals and photocatalytic remediation of our better environments, which covers the reduction of CO 2 and fixation of N 2 with H 2 O under UV-visible light or sunlight irradiation. The first chapter of the book introduces these diverse subjects by including a brief history of the developments of photocatalysis research since around the 1960s.
Specific sample topics covered in this book include:
- Visible-light active photocatalysts in pollutant degradation and conversion with simultaneous hydrogen production
- Application of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst and the role of the defects on the photocatalytic reactions on ZnO
- Strategies for promoting overall water splitting with particulate photocatalysts via single-step visible-light photoexcitation
- Polymeric carbon nitride-based materials in aqueous suspensions for water photo-splitting and photo-reforming of biomass aqueous solutions to generate H 2
- Visible light-responsive TiO 2 thin film photocatalysts for the separate evolution of H 2 and O 2 from water
For chemists, scientists, physicists, and engineers across a wide range of disciplines, UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation is an essential resource for understanding current developments in photocatalytic reactions on both inorganic and organic-based materials which operate under UV-visible light or sunlight irradiation.
