Abstract

The R & D developments in several aspects of catalysis area require cleaner and clean up technologies. Catalysts are used for energy conversion and to convert environmentally hazardous materials into harmless compounds. This presentation reviews the work currently under exploration at IICT that illustrates the perspective of photocatalyst technologies for solving energy and environmental issues for providing sustainable development. Studies on development of photocatalytic materials for degradation of phenolic wastes, common industrial effluent, H-acid, Calmagite (an azodye), Isopruturon (herbicide) and for E-coli disinfection are highlighted. Materials like Natrotantite, Ce-modified zeolites, Ag2O/TiO2, CuO/TiO2 and C,N-doped TiO2 are designed and evaluated for photocatalytic splitting of water for generation of hydrogen energy. Furthermore, potential applications of photo catalysts in the chemical synthesis of N-containing heterocyclic compounds like pyrazines and piperazines which are useful intermediates in the synthesis of various drugs, perfumes, herbicides and dyes are new interesting aspects in the presentation. Thus the present review describes the emerging trends in using photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.
