Amoxicillin (AMX) is utilized in the treatment of several infectious diseases, and its concentration wastewater has increased quite significantly over years, posing high health hazards for humans other living organisms. Investigations are progress globally to eliminate AMX related pollutants using methods that include adsorption, photolysis, photocatalytic degradation, photoelectrocatalytic electrochemical conversion. can be eliminated efficiently from environment photodegradation, either by photolysis or a process. Several types semiconductor NMs have been used drugs present wastewater. This review spans photodegradation studies conducted during years 2018–2024 degrade aquatic systems. reported different water streams. These categorized into TiO2-containing non-TiO2-based catalysts better comparison. A section on also included, showing use UV alone with H2O2 PS without any nanomaterial. tabulated summary both catalysts, reaction conditions, degradation efficiency presented. Researchers variety conditions radiation (UV, solar, visible), pH solution, AMX, number nanomaterials, presence additives activators such as oxidant, influence salts like NaCl CaCl2 efficiency. TiO2 was best nanomaterial found achieved highest ultraviolet irradiation. doped nanomaterials showed very good performance under visible light. WO3 investigators effective degradation. Other metal oxides elimination were derived molybdenum, zinc, manganese, copper, cerium, silver, etc. Some researchers and/or irradiation sunlight, solid oxidants H2O2. summarized description earlier published reviews
