Abstract
The production of fuels from renewable energy sources such as sunlight offers a promising approach to store chemical energy. Apart from fundamental improvements, innovative ideas on the design of photocatalytic systems can also advance solar energy utilization by integrating complementary technologies to utilize the solar spectrum more efficiently. This review highlights the recent developments of the new SrTiO3 based photocatalytic systems and other approaches for enhanced separation of photogenerated charge carriers towards surface catalyzed reactions. Based on our survey, SrTiO3 based photocatalysts are one type of widely explored materials for solar water splitting in recent years both from the fundamental approach and for commercial applications. Thus, we intend to summarize the details of SrTiO3 based photocatalysts from starting to advanced research and interesting information of small-scale research to the larger-scale application along with historical progression.
期刊介绍:
Applied Catalysis B: Environment and Energy (formerly Applied Catalysis B: Environmental) is a journal that focuses on the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The journal's publications cover a wide range of topics, including:
1.Catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, chlorinated and other organic compounds, and soot emitted from stationary or mobile sources.
2.Basic understanding of catalysts used in environmental pollution abatement, particularly in industrial processes.
3.All aspects of preparation, characterization, activation, deactivation, and regeneration of novel and commercially applicable environmental catalysts.
4.New catalytic routes and processes for the production of clean energy, such as hydrogen generation via catalytic fuel processing, and new catalysts and electrocatalysts for fuel cells.
5.Catalytic reactions that convert wastes into useful products.
6.Clean manufacturing techniques that replace toxic chemicals with environmentally friendly catalysts.
7.Scientific aspects of photocatalytic processes and a basic understanding of photocatalysts as applied to environmental problems.
8.New catalytic combustion technologies and catalysts.
9.New catalytic non-enzymatic transformations of biomass components.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in API Abstracts, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, Web of Science, Theoretical Chemical Engineering Abstracts, Engineering, Technology & Applied Sciences, and others.
