Nanocomposite materials for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants
Francesca Petronella,Alessandra Truppi,Chiara Ingrosso,Tiziana Placido,Marinella Striccoli,Maria Lucia Curri,Angela Agostiano,Roberto Comparelli +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview on the preparation of photocatalytic nanocomposite materials and their application for pollutants degradation is provided, focusing on modern synthetic approaches to synthetize UV and visible light active nanocatalysts, on their post-synthesis surface functionalization and on their incorporation in suitable host matrices toward nanocomposition preparation.

Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode
Akira Fujishima,Kenichi Honda +1 more
TL;DR: Water photolysis is investigated by exploiting the fact that water is transparent to visible light and cannot be decomposed directly, but only by radiation with wavelengths shorter than 190 nm.

TiO2 photocatalysis and related surface phenomena
TL;DR: The field of photocatalysis can be traced back more than 80 years to early observations of the chalking of titania-based paints and to studies of the darkening of metal oxides in contact with organic compounds in sunlight as discussed by the authors.
