Visible light-mediated photocatalysis, which relies on the ability to absorb low-energy visible light, is a greener approach for degrading organic pollutants in water. Among the photocatalysts, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely utilized because of their affordability, nontoxicit...
