| Abstract Scope |
Flash Sintering, a rapid and effective technique in materials synthesis, has exhibited promising avenues for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of materials by co-doping. This method, employs intense electric field-induced heating, presents an expedited approach to fabricate co-doped materials with improved photocatalytic properties. Through the precise introduction of dopants, such as transition elements, Flash-Sintered materials demonstrate enhanced light absorption, reduced recombination of photo-generated charges, and increased surface area, thereby amplifying their photocatalytic efficiency for environmental remediation, water splitting, pollutant degradation, and other solar-driven applications. This abstract elucidates the mechanisms behind the augmented photocatalytic activity of Flash-Sintered doped materials, discusses the influential factors governing their performance, and delineates potential pathways for leveraging these materials in advancing sustainable energy and environmental technologies. |
