Abstract
The use of ceramics as heterogeneous catalysts represents an extension of “nontraditional” ceramics applications. Utilization of various ceramic materials in the photocatalytic domains is even more “unconventional,” and this review focuses exactly on this specific aspect or application of ceramics. In this review, the principles of photocatalytic chemical transformations are presented and discussed in terms of surface functionalization, subsequent reactivity, and catalyst structure of the material in general. Special sections mentioning the applications of ceramic photocatalytic systems toward selective transformations of biomass-derived compounds and environmental remediation have been discussed in detail.
