Th Nanomaterial synthesis, via green synthesis for photocatalysis, takes a heterogeneous photocatalysis approach, which leads to its use for the degradation of organic pollutants, as well as for the removal of hazardous materials, such as heavy metals and antibiotics
This book offers an overview of recent advancements and developments in green synthesis of nanomaterials and their applications for photocatalysis, with regard to environmental safety. It will include coverage of recently-published research, focusing on technological, environmental pollution, and safety. It is an important reference source for materials scientists and chemical engineers who are looking to understand more about how nanomaterials are being used for photocatalytic applications.
