"…a comprehensive book and, in my opinion, it will prove to be monumental in the field of photocatalysis. I do not feel that any important topic in photocatalysis has remained untouched by the authors."—P.B. Punjabi, Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, India"This book covers all photolytic materials in a very simple way. It also includes a good number of references. Photocatalysis: Principles and Applications is an invaluable reference for those who are studying photolysis in their courses and also for researchers."—Falah H. Hussein, Babylon University, Hillah, Iraq
