ABSTRACT

As the nonrenewable sources of energy are depleting day by day, a renewable energy source is urgently needed to fulll our energy demands. Solar energy is a renewable source and it plays a key role in mass production of chemicals like synthetic fuels. Many environmental problems could be solved by the use of solar energy. One of its most important applications is solar photocatalysis, which can be used in ghting against water, air, and soil pollution. The commercial solar photocatalytic applications include technologies like antifogging and self-cleaning of glass, concrete, and ceramics.
