Materials that may produce an electron/hole pair at the photocatalyst level, so converting an incident photon into a useful or storable energy source, are categorized as photocatalytic materials. Generally speaking, a photocatalyst is a type of catalyst that absorbs photons to display its catalytic qualities when exposed to light.
Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical processes are two key systems in harvesting sunlight for energy and environmental applications. As both systems are employing photoactive semiconductors as the major active component, strategies have been formulated to improve the properties of the semiconductors for better performances.
Photoelectrocatalyst materials catalyze chemical reactions using solar light and an electric field. They have garnered interest due to their potential for sustainable energy conversion and environmental applications. Photoelectrocatalysts have demonstrated moderate magnetic properties, making them potential candidates for practical applications.
