| Abstract: | The energetics of electron processes in photocatalytic systems based on dispersed semiconductors, their nanocomposites and
heterostructures are examined. Methods for the approximate estimation and quantitative determination of their energetic characteristics
are evaluated and energy diagrams of photocatalytic systems based on semiconductor nanocomposites and their heterostructures
are plotted. Analysis of the diagrams permits the elucidation of the nature of their photocatalytic effects in redox reactions.
