“…Review papers focusing on various aspects of photocatalysis have been published by Castilla-Caballero et al (2022), Liu et al (2022a), Wang et al (2022), and Kajitvichyanukul et al (2022). The authors' goals of the review papers were concentrated on waste plastic mitigation using solid-state photocatalysis (Castilla-Caballero et al 2022), sewage treatment by coupling photocatalysis with biological processes (Liu et al 2022a), modification strategies for heterogeneous photocatalysis used for environmental remediation (Wang et al 2022), and constraints in the applications of photocatalysis for the treatment of pesticides-contaminated wastewater (Kajitvichyanukul et al 2022). The present study aims to further contribute to the existing review papers by analysing the various application of photocatalysis processes for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater using TiO 2-based photocatalysts.…”

Wastewaters often contain toxic organic pollutants with a possible adverse effect on human health and aquatic life upon exposure. Persistent organic pollutants such as dyes and pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals are gaining extensive attention. Water treatment utilizing photocatalysis has recently received a lot of interest. Photocatalysis is cutting-edge, alternative technology. It has various advantages, including functioning at normal temperatures and atmospheric pressure, cheap prices, no secondary waste creation, and being readily available and easily accessible. This review presented a comprehensive overview of the advances in the application of the photocatalytic process in the treatment of highly polluted industrial wastewater. The analysis of various literature revealed that TiO 2 -based photocatalysts are highly effective in degrading organic pollutants from wastewater compared to other forms of wastewater treatment technologies. The electrical structure of a semiconductor plays a vital role in the photocatalyst's mechanism. The morphology of a photocatalyst is determined by the synthesis method, chemical content, and technical characteristics. The scaled-up of the photoreactors will significantly help in curbing the effect of organic pollutants in wastewater.

Advances in Hybrid Composites for Photocatalytic Applications: A Review

Heterogeneous photocatalysts have garnered extensive attention as a sustainable way for environmental remediation and energy storage process. Water splitting, solar energy conversion, and pollutant degradation are examples of nowadays applications where semiconductor-based photocatalysts represent a potentially disruptive technology. The exploitation of solar radiation for photocatalysis could generate a strong impact by decreasing the energy demand and simultaneously mitigating the impact of anthropogenic pollutants. However, most of the actual photocatalysts work only on energy radiation in the Near-UV region (<400 nm), and the studies and development of new photocatalysts with high efficiency in the visible range of the spectrum are required. In this regard, hybrid organic/inorganic photocatalysts have emerged as highly potential materials to drastically improve visible photocatalytic efficiency. In this review, we will analyze the state-of-art and the developments of hybrid photocatalysts for energy storage and energy conversion process as well as their application in pollutant degradation and water treatments.
