A Brief Review on Solar Light Assisted Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes using Double/Layered Perovskites

:: During the past few decades, great efforts have been devoted to developing non-toxic, low-cost, green and studied photocatalysts for the degradation of toxic dyes from surface water with the aid of sustainable, plentiful, and renewable solar light irradiation. Perovskite oxides with a wide range of applications, including photocatalytic water decontamination possess unique properties that make them suitable for performing efficiently in visible spectrum and facilitate catalytic reactions. This mini-review specifically specializes in double/layered perovskites and their associated materials and summarizes the recent improvement of double/layered perovskite photocatalysts and their packages in the degradation of organic dyes.
