Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the development and impact of nanotechnology in the field o f photocatalysis. Topics include a detailed understanding of the unique properties of nanoparticles and their relations hip to photocatalytic properties. Current applications and research on nanoparticles as photocatalysts are also reviewed. The use of nanoparticles in doping, bonding, capping, sensitization,and organic inorganic nanocomposite semiconductor systems to enhance the photocatalytic and/or optical properties of semiconductor materials is also covered. The use of nanocrystal films in electrochemically assisted photocatalytic processes is also covered. Finally, the use of nanoparticles contributes greatly to providing clear information about the photocata lytic process.
