Semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted a great amount of multidiscipline research due to their distinctive potential for solar-to-chemical-energy conversion applications, ranging from water and air purification to hydrogen and chemical fuel production. This unique diversity of photoinduced applications has spurred major research efforts on the rational design and development of photocatalytic materials with tailored structural, morphological, and optoelectronic properties in order to promote solar light harvesting and alleviate photogenerated electron-hole recombination and the concomitant low quantum efficiency. This book presents a collection of original research articles on advanced photocatalytic materials synthesized by novel fabrication approaches and/or appropriate modifications that improve their performance for target photocatalytic applications such as water (cyanobacterial toxins, antibiotics, phenols, and dyes) and air (NO and volatile organic compounds) pollutant degradation, hydrogen evolution, and hydrogen peroxide production by photoelectrochemical cells.
半导体光催化剂因其在太阳能到化学能转换应用方面的独特潜力而吸引了大量多学科研究，这些应用范围从水和空气净化到氢气和化学燃料生产。光诱导应用的这种独特多样性促使人们大力开展研究工作，以合理设计和开发具有定制结构、形态和光电特性的光催化材料，从而促进太阳光的捕获，减轻光生电子 - 空穴复合以及随之而来的低量子效率问题。本书呈现了一系列原创研究文章，内容涉及通过新颖制备方法和/或适当改性合成的先进光催化材料，这些材料在诸如水（蓝藻毒素、抗生素、酚类和染料）和空气（一氧化氮和挥发性有机化合物）污染物降解、析氢以及光电化学电池产过氧化氢等目标光催化应用中性能得到了改善。
