TL;DR: An overview of the field of semiconductor photocatalysis can be found in this paper, where a brief examination of its roots, achievements and possible future is presented, and the semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) features predominantly in past and present work.
Abstract: The interest in heterogeneous photocatalysis is intense and increasing, as shown by the number of publications on this theme which regularly appear in this journal, and the fact that over 2000 papers have been published on this topic since 1981. This article is an overview of the field of semiconductor photocatalysis : a brief examination of its roots, achievements and possible future. The semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) features predominantly in past and present work on semiconductor photocatalysis; as a result, in the most of the examples selected in this overview to illustrate various points the semiconductor is TiO 2 .

TL;DR: In this article, the application of photoelectrochemistry to sensitized organic photo-transformations is reviewed, and the method has the potential to modify functional groups and to assist in studying heterogeneous photocatalysis and radical ion intermediates.
Abstract: Electron-transfer mediated reactions may be initiated by long-wavelength ultraviolet or visible light irradiation of semiconductor particles. The application of this field of photoelectrochemistry to sensitized organic photo-transformations is reviewed. The method has the potential to modify functional groups and to assist in studying heterogeneous photocatalysis and radical ion intermediates.
