Advances in Titanium Dioxide-Based Photocatalysts for Wastewater Treatment

A May 2025 study in Environmental Chemistry highlighted breakthroughs in TiO₂ photocatalysts modified with bio-derived carbon. These hybrids improve electron-hole separation and visible-light absorption, addressing limitations like rapid charge recombination. Applications include degrading dyes, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides in wastewater. The research underscores TiO₂’s potential in green chemistry, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional water treatment methods.
