A recent research emphasis has been placed on the development of highly crystallized nanostructures as a useful technology for many photocatalytic applications. With the unique construction of semiconductor transition metal oxide nanostructures in the form of nanopillars-artificially designed pillar-shaped structures grouped together in lattice-type arrays-the surface area for photocatalytic potential is increased and further enhanced through the introduction of dopants. This short review summarizes the work on improving the efficiency of photocatalyst nanopillars through increased surface area and doping within the applications of water splitting, removal of organic pollutants from the environment, photoswitching, soot oxidation, and photothermalization.
最近的研究重点是开发高度结晶的纳米结构，这是一种对许多光催化应用都有用的技术。通过以纳米柱的形式构建独特的半导体过渡金属氧化物纳米结构——人工设计的柱状结构以晶格型阵列组合在一起——光催化潜力的表面积得以增加，并通过引入掺杂剂进一步增强。本简短综述总结了在水分解、从环境中去除有机污染物、光开关、烟灰氧化和光热化等应用中，通过增加表面积和掺杂来提高光催化剂纳米柱效率的工作。
