Advanced Photocatalysis Techniques
Advanced Photocatalysis Techniques is a research topic within Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment. Science Explorer counts 106k research works in it since 1956. 25.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers covers advances in the development of photocatalytic materials for solar energy conversion, with a focus on semiconductor-based photocatalysts, visible light-driven water splitting, graphene-based nanocomposites, and plasmonic enhancement. The research also explores the use of these materials for hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and overall water splitting, aiming to address the challenges of sustainable energy generation.
