Sommario/riassunto

"This book gathers and reviews a wide-range of ideas - from experts in the interdisciplinary fields of chemistry, physics, nanotechnology,



materials science, and engineering - focusing on the development of high performance photofunctional materials for the treatment of environmental pollutants. The book contains chapters emphasizing the development of materials such as semiconductor-metal nanocomposites, layered double hydroxides, metal-organic frameworks, and polymer nanocomposites. The remainder of the book focuses on various applications, like the reduction of carbon dioxide and degradation of organic pollutants"--
