The book describes the most recommended synthesis procedure for each of them and the suitable characterization techniques for determining the optical, structural, morphological, and physical-chemical properties. The most suitable applications of the photocatalysts are described in detail, as well as their environmental applications for wastewater treatment, gaseous effluents depollution, water splitting, CO2 fixation, selective organic synthesis, coupling reactions, and other selective transformations under both UV light and visible-light irradiation.
This book offers a useful reference for a wide audience from students studying chemical engineering and materials chemistry to experienced researchers working on chemical engineering, materials science, materials engineering, environment engineering, nanotechnology, and green chemistry.

Leonardo Palmisano
Leonardo Palmisano was born in Termini Imerese, Italy, in 1950. He obtained his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry cum laude in
1973 from the University of Palermo. He was a full professor of Chemistry in the Department of Engineering, University of
Palermo, since 2000, and although he has now retired, he continues to carry out research. His scientific work mainly focuses
on heterogeneous photocatalysis, such as preparation, characterization of many bulk and surface techniques, and testing
of various types of bare and doped polycrystalline photocatalysts. He has collaborated with many scientists worldwide,
producing joint papers in international journals (~350), many scientific and didactical books, and five patents. He is editorin-
chief of the Journal of Photocatalysis and a member of the editorial boards of European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry,
Current Organic Chemistry, International Journal of Photoenergy, Journal of Chemistry, and Journal of Membrane Science
& Technology.
