Abstract
is the most favoured photocatalyst that is frequently used in photocatalytic water treatment. Dry-wet co-spinning and sputtering techniques emerged as the promising technique for immobilizing a uniformly distributed photocatalyst within the polymeric membrane, and exhibited excellence pollutant removal. In general, the technical applicability is the key factor in selecting the best photocatalyst immobilizing technique for water treatment. Finally, the scope of various techniques that have been reviewed may provide potential for future photocatalytic study.
