Nanostructured Photocatalysts

Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

This chapter highlights the precise architecture in the exploitation of hybrid photocatalysts combined with visible-light-responsive metal complexes and inorganic materials enabling efficient photochemical molecular transformations including selective oxidation using molecular oxygen and hydrogen production from an aqueous solution. The immobilization techniques of metal complexes are based on (1) encapsulation within the zeolite cavity, (2) anchoring within the mesoporous channel, and (3) anchoring onto the plasmonic colloidal Ag nanoparticle. The design strategy described here offers an attractive route for practical nanostructured photocatalysts.
