Preface
Over the past few decades, research in photocatalysis has been very active and many applications using photocatalysts have been realized. Semiconductors such as TiO2 played an important role in these amazing developments. Modern nanotechnology has brought about a breakthrough to new functional materials. The combination of powerful spectroscopic techniques and advanced nanotechnology supports the understanding of the relation between nanostructure and mechanics of functions, and thus the development of new photocatalysts with attractive functionalities. The design of photocatalysts is still a hot topic in scientific research and industrial application. This book summarizes the emergence of nanostructure controlled photocatalysts. These new photocatalysts open the possibility of efficient photocatalytic reactions under both UV light and visible-light irradiation, thus promising to make efficient use of sunlight. Many attractive and long-desired reactions can now be realized efficiently and selectively, including water splitting to produce hydrogen, CO2 fixation and conversion,
