Inam Ullah et al., 2012 60 Nanoscience for environmental remediation: A Review

A number of nanosized advanced materials have been synthesized for photocatalysis using different techniques. These catalysts find applications in environmental remediation, sterilization, hydrogen production and renewable energy. Nanophotocatalyst has been used successfully for the treatment of hazardous materials such as industrial effluents containing dyes. The study of composition, surface area, shape, size and nanostructure of these photocatalyst may help in current and further development of photocatalysts for environmental remediation
