Cover Story: The growing world energy consumption with reliance on conventional energy sources and associated environmental pollution are considered the most serious threats faced by mankind. Accordingly, heterogeneous photocatalysis has become one of the most frequently investigated technologies, due to its dual functionality, i.e., environmental remediation and converting solar energy into chemical energy, especially molecular hydrogen. However, the use of a suitable electron donor, in the photocatalytic reforming, is required to achieve acceptable efficiency. As the aromatic compounds, e.g., phenols, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and organic dyes, are widely spread in aquatic environment, they are considered attractive targets to apply this technology. Such pollutants would replace other potentially costly electron donors, achieving dual-functionality, that is, improving the water quality and simultaneously producing valuable fuels.
