Von der hinteren Coverseite

BiOX-based Photocatalysts for Dual Applications: Water Treatment and Energy Storage offers the opportunity to balance between the progress in semiconductor materials and their seminal applications in cutting-edge areas of water treatment and energy storage to mitigate their impacts on the environment. This book disseminates knowledge to readers on how to contribute to emerging understanding in BiOX with respect to the relationship between materials’ structure and photoreaction performance that paves the ways for a new direction of photocatalysis technology in the future for water treatment. Subsequently, the development of its next generation would allow an efficient collection of the sunlight to catalyze chemical reactions, promoting solar energy utilization as the cleanest and most sustainable energy source in the long-term.

To reflect its novelty, the work presented in this book focuses on BiOX applications not only for water treatment, but also for energy storage/energy conversion and in which each chapter has been written by world-class experts in their respective fields.
