Full-Spectrum Responsive Photocatalytic Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the design, synthesis concepts, mechanisms, characterization techniques, as well as both the advances and limitations in applications of full-spectrum responsive photocatalytic 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. The book starts from the fundamentals of full-spectrum responsive materials. It discusses the problems of most semiconductors that are not active in the whole solar spectrum, and it explains the benefits of utilizing full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts. It describes examples of full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts classified by material types, and it also provides in detail the design principles and characterization protocols for these promising materials. Finally, readers can find the applications of these photocatalysts in environmental remediation, energy conversion, as well as in drug-free therapeutics.
