Metal Oxide-Based Photocatalysis: Fundamentals and Prospects for Application

Metal Oxide-Based Photocatalysis explains the principles and fundamentals and highlights the current developments and future potential of applications of unitary metal oxides as well as their hybrids with noble metal nanoparticles and other semiconductors. The book consists of five chapters, beginning with the principles and fundamentals of metal oxide-based photocatalysis and requirements to metal oxides used in photocatalysis (Chapters 1-2). Then the book goes over the preparation methods of metal oxides used in photocatalysis, advantages, disadvantages and the achievements of the most important metal oxides (TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, Ta2O3, CuO, NiO, Cr2O3, RuO2, etc). The book concludes with the most important photocatalytic applications and an overview of the future outlooks and prospects. The applications are organized by the potential needs and possible solutions, addressing water treatment, hydrogen production, air treatment, chemical synthesis, medical applications and applications in construction. Coverage of applications with the approach of presenting needs and solutionsIncludes essential applications such as water treatment, hydrogen production, air depollution, medical applications and much moreDetailed characterization of the most important metal oxides used in heterogeneous photocatalysis INDICE: 1.
