PERIOD: JANUARY - FEBRUARY The course intends to provide the fundamentals of photocatalysis, by describing the individual steps that concur to the photoactivity of a material. The major technological applications of photocatalysis will be illustrated, also through laboratory experiences. In this case, beside the photocatalytic material, the reactor design will also play a major role in defining the process efficiency. In conclusion, the objective of the course is to convey the knowledge of the phenomena at a chemical and engineering level occurring in photocatalysis.

The structure of the course involves 6 major topics, organized as class lectures: - Photon absorption - Charge transfer and recombination - Electron transfer - Adsorption phenomena - Reaction mechanism - Poisoning and promotional effects 2 lectures will follow, dedicated to technological applications of photocatalysis in the fields of the energy and environment, complemented by laboratory experiences on two specific reactions: photocatalytic water splitting and photo-oxidation of volatile organic compounds.
