About the Book: Photocatalytic Semiconductors
As early as 1969, a groundbreaking study informed to launch rigorous research
activity on the reactivity of photoactivated semiconductor catalysts coined
photocatalysis. Staring the decades of development, research activities have
come a long way in accomplishments. Currently, articles in different aspects of
photocatalysis abound most scientific journals and libraries. The frequent
incidence of hazardous chemicals in wastewater produced by anthropogenic and
industrial activities is of great concern because these pollutants contaminate
lakes, rivers, and underground aquifers; furthermore, currently more pollutants,
including traces of contaminants ranging from pharmaceutical drugs, hormones,
and sunscreen to pesticides and dyes, are being detected at smaller
concentrations in freshwater bodies. In
