Abstract

Environmental pollution is a common problem in all countries. The environment is what people eat, drink, and breathe. Indifference and inaction can lead to an environmental disaster on the planet. To purify nature from pollution, photocatalysis reaction has now been actively used. This reaction requires materials that will participate in the reaction quickly purifying water or air from contaminants. Recently, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and advanced fibers made from them or other nanomaterials have become the most actively studied materials for photocatalysis. The present chapter deals with advanced fibers as well as with TMD-based photocatalysts for environmental pollution purification. We discussed in detail the physical aspects and characteristics of various materials and their hybrid structures pointing out their advantages and drawbacks for developing photocatalysts. As a result, we provided tables comparing the characteristics of the discussed materials and structures based on them. This chapter will be useful to a wide range of people involved in research in the field of photocatalysis.
