  • 1.  Photocatalysis research

    Posted 09-19-2016 02:54 PM

    Hello everyone

    My name is Hassan and I am a student at Tennessee State University. As part of my master's thesis I am currently conducting a research on Photocatalysis and the effect of Cu2+ ions presented the the solution in different concentrations. 

    Does anyone of you guys know a textbook that addresses Photocatalysis even if it's just a chapter or two? 

    I am looking for a book that explains the chemical reaction in detail.

    Thanks

    Hi Hassan:

    1. there are many books on photcatalysis and the majority are outrageously expensive. I would recommend going to the library and browse what is available. I am sure your librarian can be a great help.
    2. Also, just google "best books on "photocatalysis" and browse content on Amazon to determine which one is most suited to your needs

    Hello Hassan.  I checked with a chemist at the national science foundation who recommended the following.
