Abstract

This article builds upon a companion review on electrochemical techniques [1] and discusses photocatalytic methods for the treatment and analysis of pollutants in water and air. Organic, inorganic and microbiological pollutants are considered. Areas wherein further research and development are needed are identified. Finally, perspectives on commercialization of this technology are presented.
