Photocatalytic Reactions of Organic Compounds. Hydrogen Generation from Organics and Degradation of Wastes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 146))

Abstract

Heterogeneous photocatalysis through semiconductor particulate systems has become an exciting and rapidly growing area of research in the last few years (1). Semiconductor particulate systems present in fact several advantages among which are high extintion coefficients and fast carrier diffusion to the solid/water interface. These properties lead to large catalytic surfaces and higher efficiencies; in addition there are fewer constraints on the type of material (polycrystalline) and on the physical state of the reactants (gas, liquid, or solid phase). Moreover, the particulate systems are simpler and less expensive to assemble and to use.
