MXene-Based Photocatalysts: Fabrication and Applications

MXene, a two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide, nitride, and carbonitride, was discovered in 2011. MXene has great potential as a cocatalyst in the field of photocatalytic hydrogen production due to its properties and structure. MXene-Based Photocatalysts: Fabrication and Application introduces readers to the fundamentals, preparation, microstructure characterization, and a variety of applications of MXene-based photocatalysts. The book is a comprehensive reference for MXene materials and provides an overview of current literature in advanced MXene materials and applications.

• Discusses preparation methods of MXenes
• Describes morphology and microstructure
• Offers strategies for fabricating MXene-based photocatalysts
• Details the reaction mechanism of MXene-based photocatalysts
• Covers applications in photocatalytic water splitting, photocatalytic Co2 reduction, photocatalytic degradation, photocatalytic nitrogen fixation, and photocatalytic H2O2 production

This work serves as an invaluable guide for advanced students, industry professionals, professors, and researchers in materials science and engineering studying photocatalysis, energy, and environmental applications.
