Abstract
This chapter focuses on the area of visible light-based photocatalytic material, and the utilization of efficient solar energy is the main challenge of energy storage and environmental pollution. Owing to their wide bandgap, optical as well as electronic properties transition metal oxide nanoparticles have been significantly facilitating the photocatalysis applications. This chapter describes the progress in the variety of nanometal oxides with their small size, high surface to volume ratio, and better photocatalyst applications under the visible light. The mechanisms involved during the photocatalytic reaction, remediation, and energy generation are also introduced. The charge transfer mechanism was also explained while the other metal oxide nanoparticles were doped in the host metal oxide nanoparticles. A brief outlook of different metal oxide nanoparticle is mentioned in this chapter.
