摘要
Environmental pollution is a major challenge faced by human beings, and is becoming more serious due to increasing urbanization and industrialization. Catalysis is the key technology for environmental remediation. As a “green” technology, photocatalysis and ambient catalysis could offer numerous opportunities to realize environmental remediation under mild reaction conditions with low energy input. Over the past two decades, great advances have been made on the design and synthesis of the photocatalysts and ambient catalysts, precise control of catalyst active sites, and the mechanistic understanding on the catalytic process for environmental remediation.
