Environmental Science: Advances Blog

Environmental Science: Advances is pleased to present a new themed collection on the topic of Environmental Photocatalysis in the context of Carbon Neutralisation.

Despite decades of development, photocatalytic technology still has many key scientific problems to solve, including the bottleneck of large-scale application in environmental pollution control, the utilisation efficiency of sunlight, the selectivity of products in photosynthesis and so on.

Guest Edited by Liwu Zhang, Zhenfeng Bian, Hiromi Yamashita, and Jonathan Bloh, the work in this collection seeks to address some of these challenges.
