The series Lecture Notes in Chemistry (LNC) reports new developments inchemistry and molecular science-quickly and informally, but with a high qualityand the explicit aim to summarize and communicate current knowledge for teachingand training purposes. Books published in this series are conceived as bridgingmaterial between advanced graduate textbooks and the forefront of research. Theywill serve the following purposes:
• provide an accessible introduction to the field to postgraduate students andnonspecialist researchers from related areas,
• provide a source of advanced teaching material for specialized seminars, coursesand schools, and
• be readily accessible in print and online.
The series covers all established fields of chemistry such as analytical chemistry,organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry including electrochem-istry, theoretical and computational chemistry, industrial chemistry, and catalysis. Itis also a particularly suitable forum for volumes addressing the interfaces ofchemistry with other disciplines, such as biology, medicine, physics, engineering,materials science including polymer and nanoscience, or earth and environmentalscience.
Both authored and edited volumes will be considered for publication. Editedvolumes should however consist of a very limited number of contributions only.Proceedings will not be considered for LNC.
The year 2010 marks the relaunch of LNC.

In the twenty-first century, humanity is facing serious and urgent issues of energydepletion and environmental degradation. Due to rapid economic growth, we areexperiencing the most extensive energy shortages and environmental pollution inhistory, also resulting in globally destructive climate change. While our industriesare constantly providing a variety of innovative new products and materials, it isbecoming imperative to focus on the recycling and treatment of waste materials aswell. Moreover, we need to reduce the consumption of natural resources and raiseawareness of the great impact of our consumerism so that the technologies, products,and materials we develop are environmentally harmonious and sustainable.
Many of the recent Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry are related to photo-chemistry and catalytic chemistry as well as materials or systems related to theseareas. Photocatalysis which induces efficient and effective reactions at room tem-perature under sunlight irradiation has been the focus of much attention for itspotential to establish ideal technologies which can convert clean, safe, and abundantsolar energy into electrical and/or chemical energy.
In fact, in the last 45 years since the discovery of the sensitizing effect of a TiO2
electrode for the electrolysis of water by Honda and Fujishima, much research hasbeen carried out on the development of semiconductor photocatalysis using variousmetal oxide catalysts. New breakthrough technologies such as the separate produc-tion of H2 and O2 from water, CO2 reduction with H2O, the transformation orcomplete mineralization of organic molecules, reduction of heavy metal ions aswell as nontoxic deodorization, antisepsis, decontamination, and sterilization pro-cesses will be essential in the reduction or elimination of harmful compounds frompolluted air, water, and soil. This book brings to light much of the recent research inthe development of such semiconductor photocatalytic systems.
In order to prepare highly efficient and functional photocatalysts, their meticulousdesign and construction are vital, and this book delves into molecular level inves-tigations of their nanoscale structures as well as the mechanisms behind theirreactivity. Modification methods to improve their performance includingion-doping, heterojunction structural development, noble metal deposition, and
v
morphological control are also covered. In addition, dye sensitization processes toextend their light absorption ranges from UV to visible regions as well as to reduceelectron-hole recombination are also explored. This book will thus be of interest toresearchers in materials sciences, environmental science and technologies, energystorage and conversion, photocatalytic processes, and industrial applications.
The lead author, Prof. Jinlong Zhang, has studied fine chemical synthesis at theEast China University of Science and Technology (Shanghai, China) where hereceived a PhD from the Department of Applied Chemistry in 1993. In 1996, hereceived the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Award for innova-tive research. He then carried out research at the Department of Applied Chemistryof Osaka Prefecture University (Sakai City, Osaka, Japan) as a postdoctoralresearcher for 4 years. After Dr. Zhang’s return to Shanghai, he was promoted tofull professor of East China University of Science and Technology in 2000. He haspublished over 380 original papers which have been cited more than 14,000 times.He serves as editor of the international journal, Research on Chemical Intermediates(Springer), and is also on the editorial boards of several international journals such asScientific Reports, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental Science and Technology,Dyes and Pigments, and Photographic Science and Photochemistry.
We hope this book will contribute to the advancement of photocatalytic researchfor environmental purification and renewable energy technologies in order thatfuture societies may thrive and prosper.
