Features: Environment and energy are major and urgent issues for humanity in the 21st century. Photocatalysis, with its unique properties such as room-temperature deep reaction and the ability to directly utilize solar energy as a light source to drive reactions, has become an ideal technology for environmental pollution treatment and clean energy production, attracting widespread attention. Based on the authors' recent research achievements and combined with the latest domestic and international research findings, this book comprehensively and systematically introduces the principles and applications of photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis. The book is divided into nine chapters: Chapter 1 primarily introduces the theoretical foundations of photochemistry. Chapter 2 introduces semiconductor materials and photo-physics and photo-chemistry. Chapter 3 introduces the principles of photocatalysis, existing problems, modification of photocatalysts, and the coupling of photocatalytic technology with other technologies. Chapter 4 primarily introduces the preparation methods of nano-TiO? photocatalysts. Chapter 5 introduces the research methods of photocatalysis, including photocatalytic reactors, characterization of photocatalysts, analysis of the research process, and reaction kinetics analysis. Chapter 6 introduces the transport and capture of photogenerated electrons on the TiO? surface. Chapter 7 introduces the applications of TiO? photocatalytic oxidation technology. Chapter 8 introduces the principles and applications of photoelectrocatalysis. Chapter 9 introduces the research methods of photoelectrochemistry. This book is available for reference for scientific research and teaching personnel in environmental chemistry, physical chemistry, or related fields.
