Photocatalytic Properties: Effect of Size, Shape and Surface Structures of Fine Particles

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 64))

Abstract

The morphology of catalysts drastically affects the photocatalytic properties of semiconductor nanocrystallites as it does in many cases found in solid catalysis. Therefore, controlling the morphology of catalyst particles is a key technology for obtaining well-tailored photocatalysts. The aim of this chapter is to widely overview the important factors determining photocatalysis, such as particle sizes, crystal structures, surface structures, and surface conditions. There are two main groups of inorganic semiconductors applied to photocatalysis, i.e., metal sulfides and metal oxides. First, we will review the general aspects concerning the above parameters which are common to both semiconductors, and then discuss the photocatalysis of the two groups by showing several examples.
