What Materials are Used as Photocatalysts in Solar Panels?
Various materials are employed as photocatalysts, with titanium dioxide (TiO2) being one of the most widely used due to its strong oxidizing power, stability, and non-toxicity. Other materials include zinc oxide (ZnO), cadmium sulfide (CdS), and various metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials are often engineered at the nanoscale to enhance their light absorption and catalytic efficiency.
