摘要
Photocatalysis is of significant interest for a wide range of applications related to energy and environment, such as pollutant degradation and hydrogen production. We will provide a review of the relationship between photocatalyst properties and its photocatalytic performance, as well as the strategies for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity, in particular under solar/ambient/visible illumination. Common applications of photocatalysts will then be reviewed, and we will summarize existing problems and areas requiring further improvements.
