Heterostructured Photocatalysts for Solar Energy Conversion provides a comprehensive description of novel z-scheme hybrid materials based on metal oxide or chalcogenides-based semiconductor, or carbon-based nanomaterials (conducting polymers, graphene, and other carbon materials). The book explores energy conversion applications, such as hydrogen generation, water splitting, CO2 reduction or degradation of organic pollutants, and their associated new material and technology development. The book addresses a variety of topics, such as photochemical processes, materials and fabrication, degradation mechanisms, as well as challenges and strategies. The book includes in-depth discussions ranging from comprehensive understanding, to engineering of materials and applied devices.

The concept of visible light active catalysis emerged in recent decades and continues to attract the scientific community. Driven primarily by an opportunity to develop novel multifunctional materials on one hand, and sustainable technologies on the other, several successful approaches have been explored. However, preparation, characterization, and application of visible light active Z-scheme heterojunction-based catalytic nanostructures are still at the foreground of research activity.

Dr. Srabanti Ghosh is currently a Senior Scientist in the Energy Materials & Devices Division, at CSIR - Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute, Kolkata, India. She received her PhD degree in Chemistry from UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Kolkata Centre, and Jadavpur University, India, before completing postdoctoral programs at the University of Paris SUD, France (Marie Curie co-fund) and working as GOT ENERGY TALENT co-fund Marie Curie Fellow Researcher at the Universidad De Alcala, Spain. Her main research interests include synthesis, and characterization of functional materials at the nanoscale and their photoelectrochemical properties for energy conversion devices, photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, fuel cells, and biosensor applications. Dr. Ghosh has co-authored 104 publications in international journals, 4 patents, edited 6 books, and contributed 24 book chapters, and acts as a reviewer for several SCI journals.
