With the current development of materials science and engineering, many different cost-effective and high-quality materials have come into use in various applications. Nowadays, the materials became multi-functional and required improvements and optimizations in their characteristics. The development of the structure of the material, adapted to each new application, needs the understanding of base matter characteristics, the changes in the microstructure and characteristics of the material during forming processes. Thus, this volume of the journal “Material Science Forum” presents to readers the 1st special issue from the series “Current Advances in Materials Applications,” which contains articles covering different aspects of the research the properties of the materials and methods their applications.
This collection contains selected papers presented at the Chinese Materials Conference 2017 (CMC 2017, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, China, July 06-12, 2017) and proposes to readers the last research results in area of modern structural and functional materials and technologies of their processing in the modern mechanical engineering, materials in the electronics, energy storage devices and alternative energy production, advanced building materials, materials and technologies in the environmental engineering and practice of the waste recycling. We hope this collection will be useful for the wide range of engineers and researchers in their activity.
This special topic volume on “Photocatalytic Materials and Surfaces for Environmental Cleanup IV” addresses photocatalysis in wide sense focus on the environmental applications of photocatalytic materials. Photocatalytic materials had been widely studied for the various applications such as water and air purification, CO2 reduction, hydrogen generation, and development of auto-cleaning surfaces etc. The present special topic volume covers the application of various photocatalytic materials for CO2 reduction, hydrogen generation, removal of pesticides, degradation of organic pollutant and recent development in the fabrication of photocatalytic reactors.
