Photocatalytic materials and surfaces are recent area of interest for the environmental cleanup and hydrogen production. The present book provides the synthesis route for synthesis of tuned bandgap photocatalysts by hydrothermal and metal ion impregnation method and easily separable photocatalysts based on mesoporous materials such as zeolites and modification metal ion exchange in order to enhance the photocatalytic activity. Ag, Cu, Co, Fe, and Ni metal ions were used for impregnation and modifications. These photocatalysts were well characterized by sophisticated analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM, UV-Vis DRS, Nitrogen Adsorption to study their structural, textural, morphological and electronic properties. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesised photocatalyst was determined by photocatalytic degradation of dyes such as Methylene Blue and malachite Green and organic compounds such as Nitrobenzene and Acetophenone. This book will also provide the techniques for development of photocatalytic surface using ceramic tiles and glass plates. Overall the book will be highly useful for synthesis, characterization, and development of photocatalytic materials andsurface
