Abstract
With increasing population levels and rapidly growing industries worldwide, the purification of water contaminated with different impurities is one of the biggest challenges we face in recent times. Photocatalysis holds great potential as an efficient mineralization process to remove the foreign matter present in wastewater. Rapid advancement in innovative materials development has made photocatalysis the frontrunner among different water treatment methods. Our main priority lies in different strategic approaches to improve photocatalytic performance. This review discusses the recent breakthrough in implementing the photocatalytic mechanism for successful wastewater treatment. Challenges and future prospects in this technological field have also been discussed.
