Full-Spectrum Responsive Photocatalytic Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive overview on the design, synthesis concepts, mechanisms, characterization techniques, and advances and limitations in applications of full-spectrum responsive photocatalytic materials. The book starts with the fundamentals of full-spectrum responsive materials. It then discusses the problems of most semiconductors that are not active in the whole solar spectrum and explains the benefits of utilizing full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts. Other sections describe examples of full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts classified by material types and provide the design principles and characterization protocols for these promising materials.Photocatalysis technology based on semiconductor materials holds great promise in various fields due to its potential advantages in energy-saving, cost and environmental impact. Maximizing the utilization of solar energy is always the target of pursuits in the areas of photocatalysis, and understanding and constructing appropriate full-spectrum (UV-VIS-NIR) responsive photocatalytic materials offer ways to better realize the practical utilization of photocatalysis. - Provides new insights into full-spectrum (UV-VIS-NIR) responsive photocatalysts and successful approaches for developing these materials - Assists readers working to develop more efficient catalysts and establish a solid structure-activity correlation - Suggests possibilities for the alteration of conventional photocatalysts to utilize the full spectrum of solar light

Dr. Chuanyi Wang, Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, is a distinguished professor at Shaanxi University of Science & Technology (SUST), PR China, serving as an academic dean of the School of Environmental Science and Engineering. Before moving to SUST in 2017, he was a distinguished professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), serving as Director of Laboratory of Environmental Science & Technology of Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry, CAS (2010-2017). He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Institute of Photographic Chemistry (now Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry) of CAS in 1998, worked in Germany (Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hannover and Free University Berlin) as an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow with Prof. Detlef W. Bahnemann from 1999 to 2000, and then worked in USA (Tufts University and Missouri University-Kansas City) as a research faculty from 2000 to 2010. Currently, Dr. Wang also serves as an associate editor or editorial board member for number of international journals including Environmental Chemistry Letters and Molecular Catalysis. His research interests cover ecomaterials and environmental photocatalysis. He has published over 270 papers in peer reviewed journals with an H-index of 63. https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=55796485900
