Abstract

The conversion of solar energy by photocatalysis exhibits great potential for sustainable energy production and environmental remediation. Achieving high-performance photocatalysts is one of the major challenges in realizing the ultimate goal of using photocatalytic systems. The cation-exchange process has recently emerged as an extremely versatile tool that has given access to a wide variety of advanced photocatalysts, offering more freedom than direct synthesis strategies in tuning key parameters such as chemical composition, crystal phases, doping, interfaces, and morphologies. In this review, we begin with a brief introduction to the fundamental principles of the cation-exchange reaction. After that, a comprehensive overview is provided concerning recent activity and progress for the design and manipulation of photocatalysts with upgraded nanostructures based on cation exchange. Finally, the prospects with respect to the challenges and opportunities in this area are proposed.
