Photocatalysis, reactions carried out in the presence of a
semiconductor and light, is rapidly becoming one of the most active
areas of chemical research, with applications in areas such as
electrochemistry, medicine, and environmental chemistry,
Photocatalysis: Principles and Applications stresses the
development of various types of photocatalytic semiconductors,
including binary, ternary, quaternary, and composite, and their
modifications by metallization, sensitization, and doping to
enhance their photocatalytic activities. In addition to describing
the principles and mechanisms of photocatalysis, it also discusses
other possible applications of photocatalysis such as use as
antifouling agents, controlling air pollution by degrading
contaminants present in the environment, self-cleaning of glasses
and tiles in the presence of light/artificial light, green
composites, wastewater treatment, hydrogen generation, and
inactivation of microorganisms. The book also describes medical
applications and summarizes efforts in the field of photosplitting
of water as a newer energy source and photoreduction of carbon
dioxide for providing synthetic fuels and also a step towards
mimicking photosynthesis. Introduces the basic principle of
photocatalysis. Provides an overview of the types of
semiconductors, their immobilization, and modifications to make
them more active. Gives possible applications of photocatalysis in
wastewater treatment and strategy to combat against different kinds
of pollutions like water, air, and soil. Summarizes efforts in the
field of photosplitting of water as a newer energy source and
photoreduction of carbon dioxide for providing synthetic fuels and
as a step towards mimicking photosynthesis. Discusses inactivation
of different kinds of microorganisms. Covers medical applications.
