About the book

The book on " Photocatalysts" is a publication by IntechOpen publisher related to recent progress in Materials Science, especially on Quantum Dot Photocatalysis, Inorganic Photochemistry, Environmental Catalysis, and Photocatalytic Reactions. This book aims to include topics like semiconductor photocatalysis, principle, and kinetics, visible-light-induced photocatalysis, and design of active photocatalysts, Also the book will discuss self-cleaning, and removal of trace contaminants from water, decontamination and disinfection of water by solar photocatalysis and photocatalysis degradation of dyes. In addition, the book will cover some advanced topics like advances in heterogeneous photocatalysis, photoconversion processes, nanoparticle photocatalysts, water splitting, and photodynamic therapy. Moreover, this book will discuss topics like photocatalytic coatings, ceramic membrane, mechanochemical doping, and TiO2 based photocatalysts, anatase/rutile ratio, crystallization degree, the surface area, the porous structure, lattice defects and oxygen vacancy, and graphene nanocomposite photocatalysts. By the end of the book, the following topics shall be well covered: photocatalytic oxidation reactions, photocatalytic reduction, photocatalytic activities, the dual process of oxidation and reduction, LUMO and HOMO energy. This new book aims to be useful for researchers and workers in the petrochemical and drug industry.

Publishing process

Introducing your Author Service Manager

Ms. Sara Debeuc

As an Author Service Manager my responsibilities include monitoring and facilitating all publishing activities for authors and editors. From chapter submission and review, to approval and revision, copyediting and design, until final publication, I work closely with authors and editors to ensure a simple and easy publishing process. I maintain constant and effective communication with authors, editors and reviewers, which allows for a level of personal support that enables contributors to fully commit and concentrate on the chapters they are writing, editing, or reviewing. I assist authors in the preparation of their full chapter submissions and track important deadlines and ensure they are met. I help to coordinate internal processes such as linguistic review, and monitor the technical aspects of the process. As an ASM I am also involved in the acquisition of editors. Whether that be identifying an exceptional author and proposing an editorship collaboration, or contacting researchers who would like the opportunity to work with IntechOpen, I establish and help manage author and editor acquisition and contact.
