Photocatalytic Materials and Photocatalytic Reactions

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>Photocatalysis is a chemical process that utilizes light energy to accelerate thermodynamically demanding reactions. It offers a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for energy production and environmental remediation. With the increasing demand for clean energy and the need to mitigate environmental pollution photocatalytic research has gained significant momentum. In recent years photocatalysis has been rapidly developed and numerous new photocatalysts and photocatalytic reactions have been explored. However designing advanced photocatalysts understanding their structure-dependent properties and seeking new photocatalytic reactions remain prominent challenges.
