ABSTRACT

Photocatalysis, which exploits renewable solar energy to trigger chemical reactions via oxidation and reduction, can be classified as a sustainable technology that offers solutions to ecological problems (Kudo and Miseki, 2009). Nanophotocatalysts, for example, can be utilized for water purification and environmental pollution management, such as eliminating residual dye pollutants from wastewater streams (Lee et al., 2016). In a review, Reddy et al. (2016) reasoned that technological progress in this research field is dependent on the improvement of solar sensitivity to enhance the efficiency of pollutant decontamination.
