Nano-photocatalysts for Environmental Applications

Environmental Pollution and Energy Crisis are two major problems of the world that are being faced by the global population. In this regard, various scientific organizations and industrial R&Ds have been working 24 x 7 to have a potential solution of the same. After many years of rigorous research and thousands of publications, nano-photocatalysis remains a promising tool for a wide range of environmental applications. This primarily includes water/air purification, self-cleaning effect, water splitting and hydrogen production, carbon dioxide reduction and fixation, disinfection processes, and valuable chemical production, etc. However, the current status of nano-photocatalysis faces various new perspectives and challenges such as cost-effective synthesis of photocatalyst, solar energy coverage, eco-toxicity, recyclability and reusability potential, large scale applicability, theoretical and economic aspects of the process, etc.
