“…Hence the synthesis is economical and, due to the lack of participation of any toxic solvent in the process, this method does not cause environmental pollution. The catalyst is visible light-active, which makes it efficient to harness the visible region of natural solar light that is around 43% of the solar spectrum, therefore it can replace the previously reported UV-light active photocatalysts such as zinc oxide [ 42 ] and titanium dioxide [ 43 ], which have been in use until now. Furthermore, the use of statistical tools to optimize the degradation process parameters, instead of one parameter at a time, reduced the time consumption and provided information about the complex degradation system.…”

“…8 Conventional photocatalysts such as TiO 2 and ZnO can only be excited by ultraviolet light, limiting their practical application under sunlight. 9,10 Consequently, it is urgent to explore efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalysts.…”

“…These polluting agents are also in very high concentrations, so that releasing these molecules into the water resources, affects aquatic life and ecosystems beings, adversely [3]. In these cases, it is necessary to use less conventional techniques to remove the pollutants and convert persistent chemicals into environmentally benign compounds, such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) like Fenton process, electro catalytic oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation and catalytic wet peroxide oxidation [4,5,6,7,8]. The oxidation process with H 2 O 2 using a heterogeneous catalyst is commonly known as catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO).…”
