After a long process of intense fundamental and scientific research, the question of the suitability of photocatalytic technology to address real environmental problems is still alive. Although photocatalysis has exceptional and unique properties, it still suffers from some technical problems that limit its large-scale transfer. Furthermore, part of the scientific community focuses on research impossible to apply in industry due to both costs and technical difficulties in large-scale transfer, and testing conditions are often very far from real ones. In this report, a SWOT analysis of photocatalytic technology is conducted in order to assess whether its main strengths can enable it to seize relevant opportunities for large-scale investment and commercialization of photocatalytic solutions, despite its weaknesses and external threats. Exploiting and extending all the properties of photocatalysis can transform a plain chemical process in a real and truly competitive technology.

经过漫长的基础研究和科学研究，光催化技术是否适用于解决实际环境问题的问题仍然存在。尽管光催化具有特殊和独特的性能，但它仍然存在一些限制其大规模转移的技术问题。此外，由于大规模转移的成本和技术困难，部分科学界专注于无法在工业中应用的研究，并且测试条件往往与真实条件相距甚远。在本报告中，对光催化技术进行了 SWOT 分析，以评估其主要优势是否能够使其在光催化解决方案的大规模投资和商业化方面抓住相关机会，尽管其存在弱点和外部威胁。
