Carbon nitride based materials for heterogeneous photocatalysis

Thesis

Photocatalysis on semiconductor surfaces has grown tremendously in the last four decades. One reason for this is its analogy with photosynthesis, the most important natural photochemical process. Semiconductors to some extent can mimic the key steps of this fascinating heterogeneous photocatalytic process, i.e., photochemical charge generation, charge trapping, interfacial electron exchange and subsequent reaction. Building on this premise this thesis constitutes an investigation into the ...
