Advanced oxidation process (AOP) is a versatile photocatalytic approach to degrade various environmental pollutants. Among many photocatalysts used in AOP such as ZnO, TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , ZnS, CdS; TiO 2 is the most widely adopted semiconductor material. TiO 2 is a wide band gap material and absorb in U...
