AbstractHeterogeneous photocatalysis, as an energy-saving technology, is a fascinating strategy to tackle environmental issues and energy shortages. The efficacy of these processes severely relevant the suppression charges recombination, which hinders widespread utilization processes. segregation from fast recombination can be considerably improved by formation heterojunction among components photocatalysts. Nevertheless, formed between different semiconductors diminishes continuity carriers transfer amongst semiconductors. Moreover, construction heterojunctions significantly relies on matching band structures desired Hopefully, homojunction exposing facets, morphologies, crystal phases single semiconductor feasible for impressively recombination. In comparison with photocatalysts, almost identical in both sides junction area provide not only incredibly matched lattice, but also integrity bonding counterparts, facilitates charge migration within photocatalyst. Furthermore, established built-in electric field regions could enforce efficiently separation Herein, we reviewed latest researches about emerging photocatalysts their application degradation various wastewater pollutants. present review intends stimulate research communities focus this kind materials, impressive performances photocatalytic processes.Keywords: Energy conversionenvironmental crisishomojunction photocatalystseparation carrierswastewater treatmentHANDLING EDITORS: Jose-Julio Ortega-Calvo Lena Q.

A Review on the Progress and Future of TiO2/Graphene Photocatalysts

Energies, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 15(17), P. 6248 - 6248

TiO2 is seen as a low cost, well-known photocatalyst; nevertheless, its sluggish charge kinetics does limit applications. To overcome this aspect, one of the recent approaches use composites with graphene to enhance photoactivity. Graphene-based materials (nanosheets, quantum dots, etc.) allow for attachment nanostructures, resulting in synergistic properties and thus increasing functionality composite. The current review aims present marked progress recently achieved TiO2/graphene field photocatalysis. In respect, we highlight insights photocatalysis, including basic mechanism possible design strategies an overview how characterize mixed composites. photocatalysis has also been reviewed, which literature opened up more questions related reliability, potential, repeatability connection photocatalytic mechanisms TiO2/graphene-based can be green light future targeting pollution remediation, energy generation, etc.
