“…Since from a few decades, researchers have proposed many different strategies or routes to overcome these restrictions, including co-catalyst loading, crystal facet engineering, construction of different surface morphology with porous structure, band gap engineering, and construction of homo or hetero-junctions (binary, ternary), etc. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] To avoid the recombination of charge carriers, noble metal nanoparticles have been widely used as efficient cocatalysts decorated on semiconductor photocatalysts. Many researchers have reported that noble metal NPs, such as Au, Pt, Ag, Rh, Ni-Pt, Pd, Cu-Pd, and Au-Pd have been reported resulting in enhanced overall photocatalytic activity by enhancing the electron-hole charge separation.…”
