Description du livre
This edited book provides an overview of green nanostructured photocatalysts for clean energy, covering photocatalysis fundamentals, nanomaterial synthesis principles, and characterization techniques. It explores design strategies, fabrication methods, applications, challenges, and future directions in this evolving field.
The global energy landscape is changing due to the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuels' environmental impact has led to demand for sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly renewable energy technologies. Photocatalysis, using light energy for chemical reactions, offers promise for clean energy generation. Nanostructured photocatalysts, with their small size, high surface area, and unique properties, efficiently capture and utilize solar energy. By manipulating their composition, structure, and morphology at the nanoscale, properties can be tuned for enhanced performance. Green nanostructured photocatalysts have potential for efficient, cost-effective solutions in solar fuel production, water splitting, air purification, and pollutant degradation, contributing to a sustainable future.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals interested in understanding and harnessing the power of nanostructured materials for clean energy applications.
