Abstract

Semiconductor based photocatalysts have been an efficient technology for water and wastewater remediation, addressing the concepts of green chemistry and sustainable development. Owing to narrow and suitable band structure, BiOBr is a promising candidate for efficient wastewater treatment via photocatalysis. Enhancement of photocatalytic properties can be obtained by various techniques like doping, element rich strategy, facet engineering, and defect control. This review primarily focuses on the band engineering of single BiOBr, its binary, ternary composites and their applications in degradation of hazardous pollutants in wastewater. Moreover, current challenges and future perspectives were discussed along with concluding comments.
