Current status on designing of dual Z-scheme photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Growing pollution and high energy demand are some of the major issues against humans. Waterpollution is one of the main problems created due to industrial waste and irresponsible human activities.
Nowadays, photocatalysis is rising as an efficient alternative to overcome the energy requirement andwater purification, as it can use solar light as a source of energy. Due to some limitations of photocatalysts,such as photocarriers recombination, low surface area, and limited light absorption, modificationssuch as defect modifications, heterojunction can be employed. Out of all, Z-scheme heterojunction is aproficient way to overwhelm the limitation of pristine photocatalysts. To enhance the activity of Zschemephotocatalyst, even more, a dual Z-scheme photocatalytic scheme has been developed in whichtwo Z-scheme based charge transfer occur simultaneously on a ternary photocatalyst. In this review, wehave discussed the different types of dual Z-schemes along with their application in water purificationand finally, we have discussed the future prospects for further research.
