Elsevier Nanostructured Photocatalysts: From Fundamental to Practical Applications

Nanostructured Photocatalysts: From Fundamental to Practical Applications offers a good opportunity for academic, industrial researchers and engineers to gain insights on the fundamental principles and updated knowledge on the engineering aspects and various practical applications of photocatalysis. This book comprehensively and systematically reviews photocatalytic fundamental aspects, ranging from reaction mechanism, kinetic modeling, nanocatalyst synthesis and design, essential material characterization using advanced techniques, and novel reactor design and scale-up. Future perspectives, techno-economical evaluation and lifecycle assessment of photocatalytic processes are also provided. Finally, a wide range of practical, important and emerging photocatalytic applications, namely wastewater treatment, air pollution remediation, renewable and green energy generation, and vital chemical production are thoroughly covered, making this book useful and beneficial for engineers, scientists, academic researchers, undergraduates and postgraduates. Review Provides a complete overview of fundamental principles, highlight the engineering aspects and practical applications of photocatalysis About the Author Van-Huy Nguyen received the B.S. degree (2008) in Environmental Engineering from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and M.S. degree (2010) in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU). He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2015. Dr. Nguyen was previously a Post-doctoral Fellow at National Taiwan University. He has gained the knowledge and experiences from working in both academia and industry. Prior to joining Duy Tan University, he worked for Nan Pao (Vietnam), and Ton Duc Thang University as a Principal Investigator and Research Fellow, respectively. He also works as a Principal Researcher at Lac Hong University. Dr. Nguyen has published over 25 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 book chapters and has presented at many international conferences. He is also the Guest-Editor of three Special Issues in respected journals such as the Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology (Wiley), Arabian Journal of Chemistry (Elsevier), and Topics in Catalysis (Springer). Dr. Nguyen is also an active reviewer for many high-impact journals published by Elsevier, RSC, MDPI, and Frontiers Publishers. His research works have gained wide interest through his highly-cited research publications, book chapters, conference presentations, and workshop lectures. His research focuses on chemical and materials aspects of (photo)catalytic processes and a basic understanding of (photo)catalysts, with emphasis on applied to environmental problems and production of clean energy. Dr. Dai-Viet N. Vo is currently the Director of the Center of Excellence for Green Energy and Environmental Nanomaterials at Nguyen Tat Thanh University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from The University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia in 2011. He has worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and Texas A&M University at Qatar, Doha. Formerly, he was a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Chemical & Natural Resources Engineering in the Universiti Malaysia Pahang in Kuantan, Malaysia (2013-2019). His research areas are in the production of green synthetic fuels via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using biomass-derived syngas from various reforming processes. He is also an expert in advanced material synthesis and catalyst characterization. During his early career, he has worked as the principal investigator and co-investigator for 21 different funded research projects related to sustainable and alternative energy. He has published 6 books, 15 book chapters, more than 110 peer-reviewed journal articles and 80 conference proceedings. He has served in the
