Chitosan Based Nanocomposite Materials as Photocatalyst – A Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a significant technology for environmental application. Moreover, immobilising an appropriate catalyst on the surface of a natural organic polymer presents a number of additional advantages including low-cost, high catalytic activity and extensive potential reuse for the application of pharmaceutical, biomedical and industrial activities. This review mainly focuses on the role of chitosan based material as photocatalyst on the environmental remediation.
