Preface
The field of nanocatalysis has undergone an explosive growth during the past decade, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyses. Nanoparticles have a large surface-to-volume ratio compared to bulk materials, and they are attractive to use as catalysts. Catalysts daily accelerate and boost thousands of different chemical reactions and thereby form the basis for the multibillion-dollar chemical industry worldwide and indispensable environmental protective technologies. Research in nanotechnology and nanoscience is expected to have a great impact on the development of new catalysts. Current demand for clean and renewable energy and environmental concerns urges researchers to approach for greener advanced oxidation processes such as photocatalysis. Visible-light-driven photocatalytic water s
