Bioinspired Nanomaterials for Photocatalytic Degradation of Toxic Chemicals
Vellaichamy Balakumar, Ramalingam Manivannan and Keiko Sasaki
This chapter focuses on photocatalysts synthesized based on plant extracts (stems, leaves, flowers, roots), microorganisms, and natural oils. This chapter presents various bio-inspired nanomaterials like metal, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal and metal oxide-based nanocomposite, with different morphologies, modifications, and recent progress advances. The inspired nanomaterials, which can be used as sustainable photocatalysts for degrading toxic chemicals and deliberately discussed further highlight this catalyst’s enormous potential. The role of catalysts, which includes surface area, charge separation, and biocompatibility, have also been elaborately explained. Moreover, future challenges and opportunities are included in this chapter. The information is expected to be comprehensive and valuable to the chemistry and materials science community interested in bioinspired photocatalysts for environmental remediation and beyond.
