Abstract

The international community has been increasingly concerned about the stresses imposed on the natural environment by many chemical and energy-generating processes. As a result the world is witnessing accelerated development and implementation of new green technologies so as to provide ecologically responsible solutions for the much needed supply of drinking water, clean air, and various forms of energy. Photocatalysis holds great promise as a truly environmental friendly process. Using irradiation, either UV or solar light, photocatalysis promotes photoexcitation of semi-conductor solid surfaces, which in turn, accelerates oxidation and reduction reactions - essential steps for pollution degradation and other photoinduced chemical transformations, such as water splitting. The present volume presents contributions of prominent researchers in the field and aims to give a comprehensive overview of photocatalytic technology.
