| description | Photocatalysis is one of the most promising green technologies to utilize solar energy for clean energy achievement and environmental governance, such as artificial photosynthesis, water splitting, pollutants degradation, etc. Despite decades of research, the performance of photocatalysis still falls far short of the requirement of 5% solar energy conversion efficiency. Combining photocatalysis with the other physical fields has been proven to be an efficient way around this barrier which can improve the performance of photocatalysis remarkably. This review will focus on the recent advances in photocatalysis coupling by external physical fields, including Thermal-coupled photocatalysis (TCP), Mechanical-coupled photocatalysis (MCP), and Electromagnetism-coupled photocatalysis (ECP). In this paper, coupling mechanisms, materials, and applications of external physical fields are reviewed. Specifically, the promotive effect on photocatalytic activity by the external fields is highlighted. This review will provide a detailed and specific reference for photocatalysis coupling by external physical fields in a deep-going way. |
