Abstract

Escalating global energy demands and environmental pollution necessitate innovative solutions for sustainable development. Conventional methods often prove inadequate, driving research towards advanced materials and technologies. This review critically analyzes existing industrial wastewater treatment approaches, highlighting their merits and limitations, before focusing on the recent advancements in metal oxide-based nanocomposite photocatalysis for both pollutant degradation and energy generation. Moreover, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of metal oxides (MOx) are elucidated. The review discusses various MOx synthesis routes and their nanocomposites and elucidates the underlying…
