Phosphates and Phosphonates as Photocatalysts for Environmental and Energy Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Metal Phosphates and Phosphonates

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

Issues that make up the world's agenda and seek urgent solutions, such as the increasing need for energy with the depletion of fossil fuels, environmental pollution, increase in carbon dioxide emission rates, and climate change, encourage using the least damaging chemicals, producing low waste production, and reducing energy consumption to prevent environmental and health hazards. Because of their enormous potency to address global energy and environmental challenges by harnessing solar light energy, semiconductor photocatalysts, a significant class of functional materials, have gained growing interest. In this book chapter, photocatalyst efficiencies of phosphates and phosphonates in environmental and energy applications are examined in detail. Compared to similar photocatalysts, phosphate and phosphonates are seen as excellent alternatives due to their structural diversity, and surface, magnetic, electronic, and catalytic properties.
