Photocatalysts - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Photocatalysts are materials that decompose harmful compounds in the presence of UV rays from the sun. In other words, photocatalysts absorb photons of a specific wavelength and are excited, forming an electron-hole pair on the catalyst's surface which lead to formation of hydroxyl radicals and subsequently degraded pollutants.

1: What is a Photocatalyst? - Royal Society of Chemistry
2016年4月13日 · A representative photocatalyst, titanium dioxide (TiO 2) is a white inorganic compound, which is stable and non-toxic. It is characterized by the extremely large refractive index, dielectric constant, and insulation resistance.
Photocatalysis - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A photocatalyst is a material that harvests light to bring it to a higher energy level and provides such energy to a reacting substance to make a chemical reaction take place. An appropriate photocatalyst should be non-toxic, not expensive, and …
Definition of photocatalysis: Current understanding and …
2022年2月1日 · Similar to electrocatalytic water splitting, the photocatalyst does not change the reaction equilibrium. Therefore, by considering photons as the reactants, all light-induced catalytic processes can be generally defined as photocatalysis, regardless of the free energy change of chemical reactions.
Photocatalysts | Encyclopedia MDPI
A photocatalyst is any material that exhibits photocatalytic properties, i.e., the ability to foster and accelerate specific chemical reactions upon stimulation by light of suitable wavelength.
