Article Synopsis
- Water pollution caused by industrialization and urbanization is a significant global issue, particularly due to harmful organic compounds entering water systems.
- Metal oxide-based semiconductors like TiO, SnO, and ZnO are being studied as photocatalysts to degrade these organic pollutants, but they face challenges like high band gaps and electron recombination.
- Researchers are exploring methods such as doping and the creation of nanocomposites to enhance the photocatalytic performance of these metal oxides, focusing on rare-earth doped options for improved efficiency against organic pollutant degradation.
