description

Abstract In recent years, electrochemical technologies for the prevention and remediation of environmental pollution have been strongly developed. A review of photoelelectrocatalysis (PEC) for the treatment of wastewater is presented in this chapter. Different types of photo-anodes and cathodes have been developed and studied to increase the efficiency of PEC for the removal of organic compounds. An interesting parameter that was investigated in the last work is the generation of an active species by the utilization of proper cathodes. Moreover, this chapter deals with the keys factors affecting the PEC, including electrolyte oxidation.
