Progression in Photocatalytic Materials for Efficient Performance

Progression in Photocatalytic Materials for Efficient Performance

Photocatalysis is a highly promising technique to address the challenges of environmental and energy aspects. TiO<sub>2</sub> is currently in commercial use, but due to its wide bandgap, it is limited to UV region which is 5% of total solar energy spectrum. Moreover, the fast recombinati...
