A Review of Heterogeneous Photocatalysis for Water and Surface Disinfection

A Review of Heterogeneous Photocatalysis for Water and Surface Disinfection

Photo-excitation of certain semiconductors can lead to the production of reactive oxygen species that can inactivate microorganisms. The mechanisms involved are reviewed, along with two important applications. The first is the use of photocatalysis to enhance the solar disinfection of water. It is e...
