摘要: Extensive studies have been carried out on photocatalytic materials in recent years as reactions offer a promising solution for solar energy conversion and environmental remediation. Currently available commercial photocatalysts still lack efficiency thus are economically not viable replacing traditional sources of energy. This article focuses developments novel nano-photocatalyst to enhance activity. Recent reports optofluidic systems, new synthesis composite motile discussed this article.
