Abstract

Effective technologies and materials are needed for environmental detoxification and clean energy production. The actual photocatalytic technology is largely dependent on metal oxide-based semiconductors, which have issues such as cost, limited spectral response and recombination problems. Alternatively, non-metal photocatalysts have recently emerged. This article reviews non-metal oxide photocatalytic materials such as carbon nitride, metal nitrides, phosphides, chalcogenides, perovskites and carbides for environmental clean-up and energy production.
