Semiconductor photocatalysis (SPC) is a rapidly expanding subject that, combined with nanotechnology, has led to some striking new products on the market, such as self-cleaning glass (e.g. Activ from Pilkington Glass), tiles, fabrics, paint and concrete. In it light is used to excite an semiconductor material which is then able to carry out a wide range of reactions including: the mineralisation of organics, destruction of bacteria, viruses and moulds, clearing the 'fog' associated with misted windows, generation of fuels (such as hydrogen via water splitting) and driving novel organic reactions. The UK has many leading experts (academic and industrial) in this area, working in a wide range of different areas (e.g. new material synthesis, photoreactor design, radical-based sterilisation and mineralisation and ceramic film coating). With the ever-rising, global interest in SPC and its commercialisation it is important that the UK maintains its world-leading status via a more coherent effort. This Network will bring together the many, diverse, internationally-recognised experts to form an active, focussed community, to share information and collaborate on a range of innovative, multidiscipline projects, ranging from: solar hydrogen production to photosterilising surfaces. The Network will facilitate the exchange of information and expertise through meetings, visits and the training of research workers and postgraduate students. A dedicated Network website, designed to be of use to both experts and non-experts, will provide details of: membership and useful contacts, events, relevant useful links (e.g. with other Network sites, background literature), programmes of work, key background and promotional literature and a library archive of all presentations. The activities of the Network and its members will be promoted not only through website, but at conferences - in particular a dedicated international, UK-based conference - and via publications in journals and magazines. These activities, events and features will result in: a greater understanding and appreciation of the field of semiconductor photochemistry, significant synergistic collaborations between research groups and industry, enhanced academic support for the significant, photocatalyst-based UK-based industries and new and improved semiconductor photochemistry based, marketable devices/systems. The Network will allow the UK to maintain and advance its lead in both cutting-edge research and products, in this highly-competitive, rapidly growing field.

半导体光催化(SPC)是一个迅速发展的学科，与纳米技术相结合，已经在市场上产生了一些引人注目的新产品，如自清洁玻璃(例如Pilkington Glass的Activ)、瓷砖、织物、涂料和混凝土。在它中，光被用来激发半导体材料，然后半导体材料能够进行广泛的反应，包括：有机物的矿化，消灭细菌，病毒和霉菌，驱散与雾化窗户相关的‘雾’，产生燃料(例如通过水分解的氢气)和驱动新颖的有机反应。英国在这一领域有许多领先的专家(学术界和工业界)，在广泛的不同领域工作(例如，新材料合成、光反应器设计、基于自由基的杀菌和矿化以及陶瓷薄膜涂层)。随着全球对SPC及其商业化的兴趣与日俱增，英国通过更加协调一致的努力保持其世界领先地位非常重要。该网络将汇集众多不同的、国际公认的专家，组成一个活跃的、专注的社区，在一系列创新的、多学科的项目上共享信息和合作，范围从：太阳能制氢到表面光消毒。该网络将通过会议、访问和培训研究人员和研究生，促进信息和专门知识的交流。一个专为专家和非专家设计的网络网站将提供以下细节：成员资格和有用的联系人、活动、相关的有用链接(如与其他网络网站的链接、背景文献)、工作方案、主要背景和宣传文献以及所有专题介绍的图书馆档案。该网络及其成员的活动不仅将通过网站，而且将在会议上--特别是设在英国的专门的国际会议--以及通过在期刊和杂志上发表的出版物来宣传。这些活动、活动和特点将导致：更好地了解和欣赏半导体光化学领域，研究小组和行业之间重要的协同合作，加强对以光催化剂为基础的英国重要行业的学术支持，以及新的和改进的基于半导体光化学的适销对路的设备/系统。该网络将使英国在这一竞争激烈、快速增长的领域保持和推进其在尖端研究和产品方面的领先地位。
