In this report, we have carried out work on the concept of optical engineering for tuning solar spectrum onto photocatalytic materials of the matched band gap using a holographic concentrator. Processing parameters of holographic concentrators have been designed suitably to have a control over the desired wavelength range for photocatalytic materials of the matched band gap.
