There has been a considerable amount of research in the development sustainable water treatment techniques capable improving quality water. Unavailability drinkable is crucial issue especially regions where conventional drinking systems fail to eradicate aquatic pathogens, toxic metal ions and industrial waste. The this area have given rise new class processes called advanced oxidation processes, particularly form heterogeneous photocatalysis, which converts photon energy into chemical energy. Advances nanotechnology improved ability develop specifically tailor properties photocatalytic materials used area. This paper discusses many those nanomaterials, both metal-based metal-free, studied for waste purification recent years. It also design performance recently reactors, along with advancements visible-light photocatalysis. Additionally, effects fundamental parameters such as temperature, pH, catalyst-loading reaction time reviewed. Moreover, different that can increase efficiency well recyclability systematically presented, followed by discussion on actual wastewater samples future challenges associated it.

Visible-light-driven photocatalysts attract great interest because they can utilize more sunlight for reactions than conventional photocatalysts. A novel visible-light-driven photocatalyst AgI/Bismuth oxychloride (Bi12O17Cl2) hybrid was synthesized by a hydrothermal-precipitation method. Several characterization tools, such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission (HRTEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance (DRS) were employed to study the phase structures, morphologies, optical properties of fabricated These characterizations indicated that AgI nanoparticles evenly distributed on surface Bi12O17Cl2, heterostructures formed. The photochemical demonstrated promoted separation carrier transfer in AgI/Bi12O17Cl2 heterojunction achieved. degradation rate sulfamethazine (SMZ) about 7.8 times 35.2 higher pristine Bi12O17Cl2 BiOCl under photocatalysts, respectively. It also found amount composites played an important role photocatalytic activity, optimized ratio 25%. shows good catalytic stability maintains similar reactivity after four cycles. Furthermore, intermediates SMZ identified HPLC-MS, mechanism proposed. findings highlight contaminant elimination open avenues rational design highly efficient

Many recent advances based on 2D materials have opened new possibilities in photocatalysis. In this paper, a semiconductor composite consisting of carbon-doped carbon nitride (denoted as CCN) layers and Bi12O17Cl2 was designed via an situ method. A supramolecular chemistry approach employed to form CCN by using the hydrogen-bonded melamine–cyanuric acid barbituric acid, were obtained moderate solvothermal CCN/Bi12O17Cl2 had superior photocatalytic performance for degrading antibiotic tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation. The degradation rate constant 20%CCN/Bi12O17Cl2 is 0.0409 min–1, which approximately 2.9-, 1.5-, 32.1-fold those pristine Bi12O17Cl2, CCN, BiOCl, respectively. Electrochemical measurements showed that has high photogenerated charge carrier separation efficiency. According trapping electron spin resonance results, superoxide radicals holes main active TC. enhanced activity can be attributed separation. It expected could utilized photocatalyst other environmental applications.
