Environmental hazard caused due to the release of dyes in effluents is a concern in many countries. Among the various methods to combat this problem, Advanced Oxidation Process, in which semiconductor photocatalysts are used, is considered the most effective one. These materials release Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radical and superoxide in suspension that degrade the dyes into non-toxic minerals. However, this process requires visible or UV light for activation. Hence, there i ...[more]
