Full-Spectrum Responsive Photocatalytic Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications provides a comprehensive overview on the design, synthesis concepts, mechanisms, characterization techniques, and advances and limitations in applications of full-spectrum responsive photocatalytic materials. The book starts with the fundamentals of full-spectrum responsive materials. It then discusses the problems of most semiconductors that are not active in the whole solar spectrum and explains the benefits of utilizing full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts. Other sections describe examples of full-spectrum responsive photocatalysts classified by material types and provide the design principles and characterization protocols for these promising materials. Photocatalysis technology based on semiconductor materials holds great promise in various fields due to its potential advantages in energy-saving, cost and environmental impact. Maximizing the utilization of solar energy is always the target of pursuits in the areas of photocatalysis, and understanding and constructing appropriate full-spectrum (UV-VIS-NIR) responsive photocatalytic materials offer ways to better realize the practical utilization of photocatalysis.

Wang, Lan
Prof. Lan Wang received her Ph.D. from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012. From 2012 to 2019, she worked in Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as an associate professor. She was?appointed?as a professor in 2019 at the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, PR China. Dr. Wang's research focuses on better understanding of water pollution problems and developing green chemistry, renewable energy solutions to them for ensuring the sustainability of energy resources, both depletable and renewable. Toward that end, she has developed new clay-based 2D heterogeneous nanocatalysts by green synthetic strategy and applied in wastewater treatment by photocatalytic oxidation, and fabricated eco-friendly and portable nanomaterials based on natural polymer.
