摘要: Photocatalysis is a promising approach for solar energy conversion and environmental remediation, which has garnered increasing attention. Advanced in situ characterization techniques enable real-time observation of dynamic changes in catalyst structure, charge transfer, and surface species during photocatalytic reactions, which is crucial for understanding the relationship between photocatalyst structure and activity. This review summarizes the main applications of in situ characterization techniques in photocatalysis, discusses their contributions to optimizing photocatalyst performance for enhanced solar energy conversion and environmental applications, provides guidance for designing in situ experiments to understand catalytic mechanisms, and presents an outlook on the future development of in situ characterization techniques in photocatalysis.
