Increase photocatalytic efficiency with cutting-edge materials
Photocatalysis, which modifies the rate of reactions stimulated by light absorption, can be a critical component of many catalytic processes. Layered structures can be used in photocatalysis to broaden surface area and generate more numerous reaction sites, which can in turn increase both photocatalytic activity and quantum efficiency. In recent years these layered materials have generated numerous applications in energy production and environmental chemistry.
Layered Materials in Photocatalysis introduces these materials, their historical development, and their key properties. Analyzing all major classifications of layered photocatalysts, it details their key environmental and energy applications and offers predictions for future research and development. The result is a crucial volume summarizing a growing technology.
Layered Materials in Photocatalysis readers will also find: - Combines both science and skills for professionals in the field
- Detailed discussion of layered bismuth-based photocatalysts, metal-free layered photocatalysts, and many more
- Authored by one of the leading experts in structured materials in photocatalysis

Layered Materials in Photocatalysis is ideal for catalytic chemists, photochemists, and any other scientists working with catalytic or energy-generating processes.
