Research for the development of more efficient photocatalysts has experienced an almost exponential growth since its popularization in early 1970's. Despite the advantages of the widely used TiO2, the yield of the conversion of sun power into chemical energy that can be achieved with this material is limited prompting the research and development of a number of structural, morphological and chemical modifications of TiO2 , as well as a number of novel photocatalysts with very different composition. Design of Advanced Photocatalytic Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications provides a systematic account of the current understanding of the relationships between the physicochemical properties of the catalysts and photoactivity.
The already long list of photocatalysts phases and their modifications is increasing day by day. By approaching this field from a material sciences angle, an integrated view allows readers to consider the diversity of photocatalysts globally and in connection with other technologies. Design of Advanced Photocatalytic Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications provides a valuable road-map, outlining the common principles lying behind the diversity of materials, but also delimiting the imprecise border between the contrasted results and the most speculative studies. This broad approach makes it ideal for specialist but also for engineers, researchers and students in related fields.
María Dolores Hernández-Alonso holds a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Raquel Portela conducted her doctoral studies at the Energy, Environment and Technology Research Centre (Ciemat), Spain, making short stays in the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Humbold-Universität zu Berlin, Germany, and received her Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) in 2008. She was a three-month visiting scholar in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), USA, and the Institut of Environmental and Catalytic Research of Lyon (IRCELYON), France, and worked as a postdoctoralresearcher in Ciemat. In 2011 she was awarded a three-year "Juan de la Cierva" mobility grant to work in her actual position, the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry (ICP), which belongs to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She has been Spanish delegate in the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc) and is member of the Spanish Catalysis and Chemical Engineering Societies. Her research activity has been developed in the frame of several projects, with both public and private funding, and is ascribed to the field of photocatalysis and environmental catalysis. She has worked in the synthesis and characterization of immobilized photocatalysts, including TiO2-coated transparent substrates and hybrid sepiolite-TiO2 conformed materials, and the evaluation of their photocatalytic activity for the elimination of bacteria, VOCs and H2S in air, both at bench scale and in especially designed solar reactor prototypes with real air. She is currently focusing in the application of in-situ and operando spectroscopic studies. Throughout her scientific career she has authored 1 book chapter and co-authored 22 research articles in SCI journals of high impact index, and she has made contributions to dozens of international conferences. She has supervised one Ph.D thesis and two undergraduate student projects and is an invited reviewer in several SCI journals.
Fernando Fresno is currently a Research Associate in the Laboratory for Environmental Research at the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia, and Assistant Professor at the School of Environmental Sciences of the same University. He has conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry of the Spanish National Research Council (ICP-CSIC, Madrid), 2010-2012, and the Spanish Centre for Reseach on Energy, Environment and Technology (CIEMAT, Madrid), 2007-2010. He got his PhD in Chemistry in 2006 at the Autónoma University of Madrid (UAM), Spain, in 2006, working with a national doctoral grant at ICP-CSIC and the Inorganic Chemistry Department of UAM. He has worked as a visiting researcher in the University of Niigata (Japan), University of Aberdeen (UK) and IRCE Lyon (France). His research interests focus on photocatalytic processes for environmental and energy applications: Synthesis of new, more efficient photocatalytic materials; study of photocatalytic reactions; self-cleaning and superhydrophillic surfaces; and structure-activity relations in heterogeneous catalysts. He has participated in 9 funded research projects. He has co-authored 17 papers in peer-reviewed journals and one book chapter. He has contributed with over 30 communications to national and international conferences and is co-inventor in one patent. He has acted as an expert reviewer for several SCI journals and is a member of the editorial board of ISRN Nanomaterials and Journal of Energy. He is member of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry and the Spanish Society of Catalysis.
