Ultrason Sonochem. 2023 Nov;100:106610. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106610. Epub 2023 Sep 28.
Sonochemical-assisted synthesis has flourished recently for the design of photocatalysts. The main power used is ultrasound that allows the nanomaterials shape and size modification and control. This review highlights the effect in formation mechanism by ultrasound application and the most common photocatalysts that were prepared via sonochemical techniques. Moreover, the challenge for the suitable reactor design for the synthesis of materials or for their photocatalytic evaluation is discussed since the most prominent reactor systems, batch, and continuous flow, has both advantages and drawbacks. This work summarises the significance of sonochemical synthesis for photocatalytic materials as a green technology that needs to be further investigated for the preparation of new materials and the scale up of developed reactor systems to meet industrial needs.
近年来，声化学辅助合成在光催化剂设计方面蓬勃发展。所使用的主要能量是超声波，它能够实现纳米材料形状和尺寸的改变与控制。本综述重点介绍了超声应用对形成机理的影响以及通过声化学技术制备的最常见光催化剂。此外，还讨论了用于材料合成或光催化评估的合适反应器设计所面临的挑战，因为最主要的反应器系统，即间歇式和连续流系统，都有其优缺点。这项工作总结了声化学合成光催化材料作为一种绿色技术的重要性，该技术需要进一步研究以制备新材料并扩大已开发反应器系统的规模以满足工业需求。
