Effective strategies, mechanisms, and photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductor nanomaterials incorporating rgo for environmental contaminant degradation
The water pollution problems severely affect the natural water resources due to the large disposal of dyes, heavy metals, antibiotics, and pesticides. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been developed using semiconductor nanomaterials as photocatalysts for water treatment as an essential strate...

| description |
The water pollution problems severely affect the natural water resources due to the large disposal of dyes, heavy metals, antibiotics, and pesticides. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been developed using semiconductor nanomaterials as photocatalysts for water treatment as an essential strategy to minimize environmental pollution. Significant research efforts have been dedicated over the past few years to enhancing the photocatalytic efficiencies of semiconductor na-nomaterials. Graphene‐based composites created by integrating reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into various semiconductor nanomaterials enable the unique characteristics of graphene, such as the extended range of light absorption, the separation of charges, and the high capacity of adsorption of pollutants. Therefore, rGO‐based composites improve the overall visible‐light photocatalytic efficiency and lead to a new pathway for high‐performance photocatalystsʹ potential applications. This brief review illustrates the strategies of combining rGO with various semiconductor nano-materials and focuses primarily on modification and efficiency towards environmental contami-nants. © 2021 by the authors.
