Abstract
Photocatalysis offers a sustainable solution to two pressing global issues: greenhouse gas mitigation and clean energy generation. By harnessing light energy, photocatalytic processes enable water splitting for hydrogen production and CO2 conversion into value-added products. Among the materials explored for photocatalysis, nickel-based photocatalysts have emerged as highly promising due to their low cost, abundance, stability, and efficiency. This review summarizes recent advancements in Ni-based photocatalysts, highlighting their role in improving photocatalytic performance by enhancing light absorption, charge separation, and reducing charge recombination. Key challenges and future directions for optimizing these materials are also discussed, offering insights into their potential for advancing clean energy technologies.
期刊介绍：
Energy & Environmental Materials (EEM) is an international journal published by Zhengzhou University in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The journal aims to publish high quality research related to materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and transport, as well as for creating a cleaner environment. EEM welcomes research work of significant general interest that has a high impact on society-relevant technological advances. The scope of the journal is intentionally broad, recognizing the complexity of issues and challenges related to energy and environmental materials. Therefore, interdisciplinary work across basic science and engineering disciplines is particularly encouraged. The areas covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, materials and composites for photovoltaics and photoelectrochemistry, bioprocessing, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, clean air, and devices with multifunctionality. The readership of the journal includes chemical, physical, biological, materials, and environmental scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and policy-making.
