Metallic nanoparticles are considered a new class of heterogeneous photocatalysts due to their ability to absorb solar light and convert it into chemical energy. Here, we focus on the use of silver nanoparticles in light driven catalytic processes. This chapter will start with a brief introduction to the currently available nanocomposites that contain silver nanoparticles. Then, the mechanisms behind the photocatalytic activity of those nanocomposites will be discussed.
