Green Nanostructured Photocatalysts for Clean Energy
About this ebook
The global energy landscape is changing due to the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fossil fuels' environmental impact has led to demand for sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly renewable energy technologies. Photocatalysis, using light energy for chemical reactions, offers promise for clean energy generation. Nanostructured photocatalysts, with their small size, high surface area, and unique properties, efficiently capture and utilize solar energy. By manipulating their composition, structure, and morphology at the nanoscale, properties can be tuned for enhanced performance. Green nanostructured photocatalysts have potential for efficient, cost-effective solutions in solar fuel production, water splitting, air purification, and pollutant degradation, contributing to a sustainable future.
This book is an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals interested in understanding and harnessing the power of nanostructured materials for clean energy applications.
