Materials Science in Photocatalysis provides a complete overview of the different semiconductor materials, from titania to third-generation photocatalysts, examining the increasing complexity and novelty of the materials science in photocatalytic materials. The book describes the most recommended synthesis procedure for each of them and the suitable characterization techniques for determining the optical, structural, morphological, and physical-chemical properties. The most suitable applications of the photocatalysts are described in detail, as well as their environmental applications for wastewater treatment, gaseous effluents depollution, water splitting, CO2 ?xation, selective organic synthesis, coupling reactions, and other selective transformations under both UV light and visible-light irradiation.

This book offers a useful reference for a wide audience from students studying chemical engineering and materials chemistry to experienced researchers working on chemical engineering, materials science, materials engineering, environment engineering, nanotechnology, and green chemistry.

Includes a complete overview of the different semiconductor materials used as photocatalysts
Describes methods of preparation and characterization of photocatalysts and their applications

Elisa I. García López is an associate professor of chemistry at Università di Palermo, Italy. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and her PhD in chemistry and materials science from the Università di Palermo. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Meisei University, Japan. Her research interests are focused on heterogeneous photocatalysis. She is coauthor of more than 100 papers in collaboration with scientists from all over the world, more than 200 communications for international congresses, and 10 book chapters. Leonardo Palmisano was born in Termini Imerese, Italy, in 1950. He obtained his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry cum laude in1973 from the University of Palermo. He was a full professor of Chemistry in the Department of Engineering, University ofPalermo, since 2000, and although he has now retired, he continues to carry out research. His scientific work mainly focuseson heterogeneous photocatalysis, such as preparation, characterization of many bulk and surface techniques, and testingof various types of bare and doped polycrystalline photocatalysts. He has collaborated with many scientists worldwide,producing joint papers in international journals (~350), many scientific and didactical books, and five patents. He is editorin-chief of the Journal of Photocatalysis and a member of the editorial boards of European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry,Current Organic Chemistry, International Journal of Photoenergy, Journal of Chemistry, and Journal of Membrane Science& Technology.
