Photocatalysis: Advanced Materials and Reaction Engineering: 100 (Materials Research Foundations)

Photocatalysis is important in fighting environmental pollution such as pharmaceutical effluents dyes pesticides and endocrine disruptors. It is also used for the production of clean energy e.g. by way of hydrogen production from watersplitting or CO2 conversion into fuels. Further photocatalytic N2 fixation is promising for achieving sustainable ammonia synthesis. The book discusses new materials and reaction engineering techniques such as heterojunction formations composites ion exchangers photocatalytic membranes etc.Keywords: Photocatalysis Pollutant Degradation and Mineralization Pharmaceutical Effluents Dyes Pesticides Endocrine Disruptors Water Detoxification Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production CO2 Conversion into Fuels N2 Fixation Degradation of Organic Molecules Heavy Metal Removal from Water Photocatalytic Membranes Carbon Nitride for Photocatalytic Applications Carbon Nanotubes Nanohybrids Composite Ion Exchangers Perovskites-based Nano Heterojunctions.
