Light converting phosphor-based photocatalytic composites

Abstract

Semiconductor photocatalysis has attracted tremendous attention due to its potential in environmental remediation, clean energy production and chemical reaction technology. Pursuing high efficiencies is a core task in the field. One of the major factors in photocatalysis is the limited light absorption of photocatalysts in the incident solar spectrum. In this treatise, we will survey recent advancements in light-conversion phosphor-based composites including up-conversion, down-conversion, and long afterglow phosphor-based composites for photocatalysis.
