Abstract
This review highlights recent research endeavors in the field, emphasizing the critical role of carbon- based photocatalysts for their superior performance under visible light irradiation and their capacity to efficiently photodegrade pharmaceutical contaminants. The integration of carbon materials with semiconductors has demonstrated remarkable synergistic effects, leading to enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. The exploration of carbon- based semiconductor materials represents a promising avenue for addressing the persistent issue of pharmaceutical waste in the environment, offering a greener and more efficient solution for water treatment.
