Defect Engineering in Photocatalysis

Bol

Detailed reference covering essential concepts, perspectives, and practical skills for optimizing photocatalytic reactions via defect engineering Defect Engineering in Photocatalysis: From Fundamentals to Applications covers various types of defects such as vacancies, impurities, doping, surface defects, and volume defects and discusses their effects on charge carrier dynamics and photocatalytic features of photocatalytic materials. The book highlights applications of defect-engineered photocatalysts in several areas including energy conversion and environmental remediation. Detailed case studies and research findings for applications in organic chemistry and phototherapy are included throughout. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and mechanisms of photocatalysis for sterilization, reviews advanced designs of defective photocatalytic materials to improve their efficiency for nano-/micro-plastics photodegradation and their transformation into value-added chemicals and fuels, details the use of defective photocatalytic materials for enhancing desalination processes, highlighting the importance of efficient salt removal and water purification by way of photocatalysis processes, and delivers insights on potential defective photocatalysts in wastewater treatment technologies. Other sample topics explored in Defect Engineering in Photocatalysis include: Mechanisms of defect formation including band gap engineering, charge carrier transfer, concentration of defects, defect–interface interactions, and photostability Defect engineering as a method to customize the photocatalytic properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and other metal oxides such as WO3 and ZnO The importance of defect control in enhancing light absorption, charge separation, and photocatalytic activity Usage of defective photocatalytic materials in various organic transformations, including C-C and C-X bond formation, C-H functionalization, and cross-coupling reactions Defect Engineering in Photocatalysis offers valuable insights into the design and optimization of photocatalytic materials via defect engineering for catalytic and inorganic chemists, materials scientists, chemical engineers, physicists, and professionals in the semiconductor industry.
