Overview

Optical Properties of Semiconducting Nanostructures for Photocatalytic Applications: Fundamental Understanding and Material Design introduces different optical phenomena in semiconducting nanostructures that can impact their performance in photocatalytic applications. It discusses how to design photocatalyst materials with the highest efficiency to remove pollutants and improve the water splitting process. Sections review the fundamental mechanisms of the photocatalytic process by semiconducting materials and delve into the impacts of optical properties on the performance of semiconducting materials for photocatalytic applications. Materials such as semiconductor/g-C3N4 nanocomposites, semiconductor/graphene nanocomposites, inorganic/organic nanocomposites, metal/semiconductor nanocomposites and wide bandgap metal-chalcogenide nanostructures are covered. This book is suitable for those working in the disciplines of materials science, chemistry and physics.

Author Information

Dr Ramin Yousefi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Islamic Azad University (I.A.U), Iran. He has received his PhD degree in Solid State Physics from University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia in 2011. His primary research interest has been directed towards understanding the basis of nanostructures growth such as ZnO nanowires by thermal evaporation methods such as chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and physical vapour deposition (PVD). He has started studying the composites of ZnO/graphene to improve photocatalytic, gas sensor, photovoltaic, and photogeneration applications of ZnO and other 2D nanostructures. Dr. Yousefi has published more than 110 ISI papers with more than 3600 citations and has authored several chapters in books published by Wiley and Elsevier.
