In this book, the authors integrate both the fundamentals and the most recent studies on ferric oxide- and zinc oxide-based photocatalysis in a structured and systematic fashion. Emphasis is given to the basics of the structure and properties of the selected photocatalysts. Advances in Ferric Oxide- and Zinc Oxide-Based Photocatalysis will prove particularly helpful for researchers in situations where the potential of ferric oxide and zinc oxide is yet to be established, as it will illuminate how these oxides can be utilized in a range of different applications and situations. Studies on photocatalysis for different applications provide clear evidence for the importance and role of ferric oxide and zinc oxide, materials that are now receiving significant attention for various photocatalytic applications due to their activity, availability, and stability. This book fills a gap in the literature by focusing exclusively on ferric oxide and zinc oxide, allowing a full consideration of the importance of the materials, their mechanisms of action, and the future scope for further investigation.
