What are Photocatalysts and Their Applications in Renewable Energy?
Photocatalysts are materials that harness light energy to drive chemical reactions. They are essential in processes like artificial photosynthesis, where sunlight is used to convert water and CO2 into organic compounds and oxygen, mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis in plants. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a commonly used photocatalyst known for its stability and efficiency in utilizing solar energy.
