UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation
<b>UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation</b> <p><b>Comprehensive resource detailing fundamentals of photocatalysis, clean energy production, and pollution treatment, as well as recent developments in each field</b> <p><i>UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation</i>: <i>Materials, Reaction Mechanisms, and Applications</i> 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. <p>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<sub>2</sub> and fixation of N<sub>2</sub> with H<sub>2</sub>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. <p>Specific sample topics covered in this book include: <ul><li>Visible-light active photocatalysts in pollutant degradation and conversion with simultaneous hydrogen production</li> <li>Application of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst and the role of the defects on the photocatalytic reactions on ZnO</li> <li>Strategies for promoting overall water splitting with particulate photocatalysts via single-step visible-light photoexcitation</li> <li>Polymeric carbon nitride-based materials in aqueous suspensions for water photo-splitting and photo-reforming of biomass aqueous solutions to generate H<sub>2</sub></li> <li>Visible light-responsive TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film photocatalysts for the separate evolution of H<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> from water </li></ul> <p>For chemists, scientists, physicists, and engineers across a wide range of disciplines, <i>UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation</i> 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.
