Recent advancements in the role of biopolymers as photocatalytic materials for waste-water treatment.

Photocatalysis has gained immense attention over the years as it enables the mineralization of complex pollutants in simple and cost-effective architecture. However, leaching and poor reusability of powdered photocatalysts renders this aspired technology as a potential source of secondary pollution. Photocatalysts are generally immobilized onto a surface as an attempt to resolve these issues.

Evolving trends in the solvent strategies for preparing semiconducting nanomaterials for multifarious applications.

Semiconducting nanomaterials have been widely explored for various applications due to their remarkable coordination between electronic and morphological attributes. The extent of their potential applications transcends from various environmental remediation applications like sensing and photocatalysis to several complex applications like energy storage/production and drug delivery processes. The properties of semiconducting nanomaterials can be effectively tuned by changing the solvent strategies.
