Abstract

In this chapter, we first cover general aspects of heterogeneous photocatalysis and the materials science of semiconductors, addressing photoinduced redox processes at semiconductor/liquid interfaces. We then outline key physicochemical and photocatalytic features of metal oxides. We discuss the advantages associated with nanostructuring and provide a selection of relevant techniques for the synthesis of photocatalytic materials. We continue further with an overview of the principles and methods for the modification of oxide photocatalysts with the objective of enhancing their photoactivity. Finally, we critically discuss some practices and trends in current and future research on photocatalysis.
