How Can the Efficiency of Photocatalysts Be Improved?
Several strategies can be employed to enhance photocatalytic efficiency. These include doping the catalyst with other elements to extend light absorption into the visible range, using co-catalysts to facilitate electron-hole separation, and engineering the surface of the catalyst to increase adsorption of reactants. Nanostructuring the material can also enhance its properties by increasing the surface area and optimizing the pathways for electron and hole migration.
