A critical review on application of organic, inorganic and hybrid nanophotocatalytic assemblies for photocatalysis of methyl orange dye in aqueous medium
Abstract
Methyl orange (MO) is a highly carcinogenic and harmful contaminant, which has been extensively reported for its detrimental impact on human and aquatic life. The photodegradation of MO into less toxic products has gained much attention over the past few decades. Herein we have reviewed the recent advancement in designing of nanomaterials (NMs) stabilized on different fabricating assemblies and their application in photocatalysis of MO dye. These photocatalytic systems possess various advantages and disadvantages. Graphene-based supported materials on different NMs are highly reported photocatalysts for photocatalysis of MO dye. Recent advancement, parameters affecting photocatalytic studies, kinetics and photocatalytic mechanism of MO have been thoroughly explained in this review. Future outcomes are also provided for extending the development of scientific research in this field.
