Review on design and evaluation of environmental photocatalysts
Abstract
Fundamentals on the photocatalytic degradation were systematically summarized. Charge carrier dynamics for the photocatalytic degradation were reviewed. Adsorption and photodegradation kinetics of reactants were highlighted. The mechanism aspects, including O2 reduction, reactive oxidation species and key intermediates were also addressed. Selectivity and stability of semiconductors for photodegradation were clarified.
