perspective. Finally, contribution 8 provides a photocatalytic engineering approach.
Different setup configurations and employed numerical methods to calculate the
photon absorption rate are analyzed.
As described throughout the collection, Heterogeneous Catalysis technology has
achieved relevant results at laboratory scale. The future will also bring new ways to
integrate lab and industry results to scale-up the use of sustainable photocatalytic
materials and processes. We hope that the emerging ideas summarized in this collection
may inspire the scientific community for the development of more efficient
photocatalytic schemes. We finally would like to thank the editorial staff of Topics
in Current Chemistry and the editorial board for the support and help assembling
this collection.
