摘要

In this comprehensive review, the emerging field of polymer photocatalysts is examined, including the problems and prospects that may arise in the development and use of polymer photocatalysts to provide solutions for environmental remediation and green energy. The review explains the special characteristics of the polymeric materials their tunability, easy modulation, and their synergy with inorganic semiconductors. The most important issues include stability, photocatalytic efficiency, and mechanisms underlying the reaction pathways are reviewed critically. Moreover, the study will draw attention to the recent developments in the fabrication method and the application of nanotechnology in the development of photocatalytic performance. The vision of future directions and the development of biodegradable and bio-based photocatalytic materials in this review will be beneficial in helping researchers and practitioners in addressing the existing shortcomings and use different strategies to exploit the potential of polymeric photocatalysis to a more sustainable future.
