photocatalysts in water splitting, energy generation, and environmental concerns.
The appropriate composited photocatalysts bring properties within the minimization
of recombination rate and enhanced efficiency for applicable prospects and
commercialization.
Chapter 10 by Zargazi and Chahkandi discusses the importance of doublet and
triplet Bi-photocatalytic compounds, including appropriate and narrow bandgap
activated by visible light, layered morphology to gain high separation
photogenerated charges, having various morphologies from zero-dimensional to
hierarchical structures effective in light-harvesting, and composition with other
semiconductors to generate heterojunctions with high photocatalytic performance.
Chapter 11 by Tripathi and Narayanan describes the characteristics and toxicity
profile of tannery effluent. Various conventional and modern treatment methodologies have been discussed in detail. The major focus is given to the solar
photocatalytic process, the influence of various factors, and the design of
photocatalytic reactor systems. Chapter 12 by Patle et al. discusses ionic liquids
and functionalized ionic liquids with the recent applications of the latter in the
treatment of wastewater, particularly containing different dyes. Later, a case study
on the photodegradation of organic dyes, namely methylene blue and Congo red
using a polymer-supported ionic liquid fe-porphyrin complex, is presented.
Chapter 13 by Orbeci investigates the opportunity to use photocatalytic oxidation
to remove chlorophenols and antibiotics from wastewater.
