The Assisted Excitations for Photocatalysis and Their Applications in Environment Treatments

Semiconductor photocatalytic materials with unique photochemical properties display a broad application prospects in the field of environmental treatment.The existing problems of photocatalysis in environment treatment in recent years are analyzed,and the research developments and applications respect to sono-photocatalysis,electro-photocatalysis,microwave-photocatalysis,thermo-photocatalysis are reviewed.The mechanisms of synergistic effects on the assisting-photocatalytic oxidations are analyzed,and the future prospects in photocatalysts are also discussed in this paper.
