Surface Science of Photocatalysis, Volume 32, summarizes significant findings on the surface science behind various classic and novel photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications, with special emphasis on important surface/interface processes in photocatalysis, such as interfacial charge transfer, function of co-catalysts, and adsorption over photocatalyst surface. This book timely and systematically reviews the state-of-the-art of the surface science in semiconductor-based photocatalysis, serving as a useful reference book for both new and experienced researchers in this field.

Graphene Oxide-Metal Oxide and other Graphene Oxide-Based Composites in Photocatalysis and Electrocatalysis reflects on recent progress and challenges in graphene-metal oxide composites. The book reviews synthetic strategies, characterization methods and applications in photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Graphene-metal oxides, graphene-novel metals and other composites intended for sustainable energy production, energy storage, and environmental development such as H2 production, CO2 reduction, pollutant removal, supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries are covered. Overall, this book presents a comprehensive, systematic, and up-to-date summary on graphene oxide-based materials.

Graphene oxide and related composite materials bring new perspectives and prospects to both photocatalysts and electrocatalysts. The collective and synergistic effect between graphene oxide and metal oxide are manifold. The significance of the relationship among these groups of materials, their structures and performance is emphasized.

S-scheme Heterojunction Photocatalysts Fundamentals and Applications clearly describes photocatalytic processes and mechanisms, reviews the history of traditional heterojunction, discusses the problems of charge transfer in some heterojunctions, states the necessity in proposing S-scheme photocatalyst, and provides, in detail, the design principles and characterization protocols for the emerging S-scheme heterojunction. Examples of S-scheme heterojunctions classified by material types are summarized, and the book provides a comprehensive discussion on design, fabrication, principle, mechanism, characterization, and application of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst.

This book provides state-of-art research frontiers in this area that will appeal to experienced researchers and graduate students, as well as research and development scientists in the nanosized-composite-related industry.
