Springer Handbook of Inorganic Photochemistry

lt;b> Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Detlef W. Bahnemann received his PhD in Chemistry from the Technical University Berlin (Germany). Today he is Head of the Research Unit "Photocatalysis and Nanotechnology" at Leibniz University Hannover (Germany) and Director of the Research Institute "Nanocomposite Materials for Photonic Applications" at Saint Petersburg State University (Russian Federation). His research topics include photocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, solar chemistry and photochemistry focussed on synthesis and physical-chemical properties of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. His more than 500 publications have been cited over 59,000 times (h-index: 96). He is Visiting Research Professor at Queens University Belfast, DeTao Master of Photocatalysis, Nanomaterials and Energy Applications, and holds a Guest Professorship at Tianjin University (China) as well as several visiting professorships in China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Britain.

Prof. Antonio Otávio T. Patrocinio received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from the Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Brazil (2001) and his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil (2009) with a sandwich period at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2008). He spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow at Universidade de Sao Paulo (2010) and in 2011 he moved to the Institute of Chemistry of Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, Brazil, as Assistant Professor. In 2012, he was honoured by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the Green Talents Award for his research contributions in sustainable growth and renewable energy. Between 2016 and 2018 he visited the Institute of Technical Chemistry of Leibniz University Hannover as a Alexander von Humboldt research fellow. He is currently Associate Professor at Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, where his research focuses on nanostructured metal oxide-based thin films and photochemical properties of coordination compounds for solar energy conversion.
