Abstract

Magnetic semiconductor photocatalysts (MSPs) and polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), due to their high surface area, stability, processability, tunable properties, and cost-effectiveness, have attracted recent attention of academicians, researchers, and technologists in purification of water and degradation of organic pollutants. This chapter overviews MSPs, applied in the degradation of organic pollutants as well as PNCs for treatment of water contaminants. We have discussed the mechanism of photolytic reaction with focus on degradation of pollutants. Finally, eyes have been pointed on the prospect of the materials for degradation and future efforts for developing durable, highly performing, and scalable materials.
