Abstract The environment and public health are seriously threatened by the rising incidence of organochlorine pollutants (OCPs) in aquatic environments. In response, photocatalytic degradation has emerged as a viable sustainable method for getting rid these dangerous contaminants. This study offers thorough examination most recent developments approaches, with specific focus on multifunctional metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs). Through critical appraisal relevant literature, review elucidates underlying mechanisms involved OCPs evaluates performance various nanoarchitecture materials. also includes an in‐depth exploration regenerability recyclability spent MONPs. Future research directions area circular economy cost analysis were provided to help upcoming researchers. conclusion, this consolidates current knowledge emerging OCPs, providing valuable insights into application MOPs, contributing development efficient strategies mitigating environmental damage aid actualization Sustainable Development Goals 3, 6, 14.
