Photocatalysis design, active photocatalysts

In Part I the fundamental aspects of photocatalysis are described. Photoelectrochemical processes at semiconductors are the most important basics for all photocatalytic reactions (Chapter 2). Design, preparation and characterization of active photocatalysts have been an important research subject,... 

This review has been written in order to clarify fundamental aspects of photocatalysis, an important subject in inorganic and material chemistry, not to present a list of studies on photocatalysis reported so far, since it seems rather difficult to make a complete review by introducing all or a large part of the reported studies on photocatalysis of relatively long history. This review is based on the author s experience in studies on photocatalysis and topics are limited to so-called semiconductor photocatalysis definition and examples of photocatalysis, its principle and kinetics, visible light-induced photocatalysis, and design of active photocatalysts are discussed in detail.
