Photoelectrocatalysis 1st Edition

Photoelectrocatalysis, 1st Edition by Leonardo Palmisano and Sedat Yurdakal is an essential, up-to-date resource that brings clarity and practical insight to the rapidly advancing field of solar-driven pollutant removal and energy conversion. Ideal for researchers, graduate students, environmental engineers and industry professionals, this book synthesizes fundamental science with applied strategies for real-world environmental remediation and sustainable technologies.

Discover clear explanations of the underlying mechanisms of photoelectrocatalytic processes, from semiconductor physics and charge-transfer dynamics to electrode architecture and reactor design. The authors guide readers through state-of-the-art materials — including engineered semiconductor photoelectrodes and composite catalysts — and present best practices for optimizing light absorption, mass transport and reaction kinetics. Practical sections cover analytical methods, performance metrics, and scale-up considerations that bridge laboratory research and pilot-scale implementation.

Readers benefit from comparative discussions of photoelectrocatalysis versus traditional photocatalysis and electrochemical oxidation, accompanied by case studies on water purification, degradation of persistent organic pollutants and solar-driven chemical conversion. Global in scope, the book addresses regulatory and environmental priorities across Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, making it a GEO-friendly reference for international projects and collaborations.

Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, this edition equips practitioners with the tools to design experiments, interpret results and translate innovations into sustainable applications. Whether building a research program or evaluating technologies for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, Photoelectrocatalysis is a definitive, practical guide. Add this authoritative volume to your professional library and stay at the forefront of clean-energy and environmental remediation research.
