Application of Nanotechnology in Chemical Industr
Nano particles as photocatalysts have many advantages. First of all, the small particle size, large specific surface area and high photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, most of the electrons and holes generated by nanoparticles will not be recombined before reaching the surface. Therefore, if more electrons and holes can reach the surface, the chemical reaction activity will be high. Secondly, nanoparticles dispersed in dielectrics are often transparent, which makes it easy to observe the effects of charge transfer, proton transfer, semiconductor energy level structure and surface state density at the interface by optical means and methods.
