Produktbeschreibung

Due to the huge increase in pollution around the globe, there is an urgent need to develop eco-friendly and energy-efficient materials that can replace polluting energy generation technologies. Photocatalysis is a very promising and low-cost method that has the potential to solve wastewater treatment issues and air pollution problems. Over recent years, metal oxide based photocatalysts have increased in popularity for the advanced oxidation process for wastewater remediation as well as hydrogen generation through water splitting under sunlight to provide a clean and efficient source of energy.

This reference text covers the fundamentals and applications of various types of photocatalyst materials, including metal oxides, rare earth doped oxides, phosphor coupled metal oxides, nanocomposites and perovskite/metal organic frameworks for wastewater treatment and the hydrogen evolution process. The benefits and drawbacks of these materials are covered, and the methods for improving the photocatalytic activity of the materials are discussed, providing broad, in-depth knowledge and understanding for the sustainable development of the technologies. The book also provides future perspectives, discusses the key challenges and outlines the need for advanced, energy efficient, non-toxic photocatalytic materials for wastewater treatment.

Aimed at researchers and postgraduate students, the book is an ideal reference for anyone looking for the fundamentals and potential scope of photocatalysts for wastewater remediation and hydrogen generation.
