An overview on cellulose-supported semiconductor photocatalysts for water purification

Metal oxides have been widely used in wastewater treatment, but due to their limitations there is a need of some modifications to make them an efficient photocatalyst. Many support materials are used to enhance the photocatalytic efficacy of many photocatalysts. Recently, cellulose nanomaterials have been utilized as green prototype for the preparation of metal or metal oxide nanomaterials and to improve their photocatalytic efficacy as it acts...
