Abstract
Harvesting solar energy for energy and environmental applications is an ever-fascinating field of research. Although semiconductor photocatalysis is the potential tool for recalcitrant degradation, it still suffers from rapid recombination, inability to utilize visible light, and lower photocatalytic performance. Recently, the Z-scheme photocatalysts are becoming research hotspots for their strong redox ability, charge carrier separation, and ability to exploit visible light. This review provides insights into the fundamental mechanism, synthesis strategies, and characterization techniques of Z-scheme photocatalysts. The recent advancements in their applications in visible-light-driven pollutants degradation are also reviewed.
