S-scheme Heterojunction Photocatalysts (eBook)

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. - Provides the latest advances in this topic area, offering insights into the materials and applications of the hybrid materials - Helps distinguish correct explanations from invalid ones and clears up historical misunderstandings in the field - Provides new perspectives in charge carrier migration - Enlightens readers to help them design and develop novel photocatalysts of their own with improved efficiency

Professor Jiaguo Yu received his BS and MS degrees in Chemistry from Central China Normal University and Xi'an Jiaotong University, respectively, and his PhD degree in materials science in 2000 from Wuhan University of Technology. In 2000, he became a Professor at Wuhan University of Technology. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 2001 to 2004, a visiting scientist from 2005 to 2006 at the University of Bristol, and a visiting scholar from 2007 to 2008 at University of Texas at Austin. He has won world renown due to his great accomplishments in scientific research by publishing over 600 high-impact SCI papers (149 highly cited ones) and five books, obtaining an H-index of 171. He is a Member of Academia Europaea (2020), a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences (2020) and a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2015). He is also one of the 30 Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics in three disciplines, i.e. Materials Science, Chemistry and Engineering from 2014 to 2022 worldwide, and the Thomson Reuters 'Hottest Researcher' of 2012 in the world.
