Abstract

Environmental pollution is increasing day by day due to the development of various types of industries at the present time. These industries dump their untreated, contaminated waste and harmful smoke into the environment. Water and air pollution are some of the most concerning topics around the world. With the help of several types of nanomaterials, nanotechnology has found great potential in the removal of toxic pollutants from the environment. Metal oxides and metal oxide–based nanomaterials were found to be very effective toward the removal of harmful pollutants from the environment. The photocatalytic degradation practice in bare metal oxide semiconductors such as ZnO, TiO2, NiO, Fe2O3, and others is usually initiated in the presence of UV light, and this process is very efficient and the utilization of energy is high in this UV light irradiation but is lower in natural light and visible light. Incorporation of dopant improves the photocatalytic properties of metal oxides nanomaterials such as lowers band gap energy, delays the recombination rate as well as separation of charge carriers, and enhances the surface area. Metal-coupled nanoparticles show excellent photocatalytic activity under direct solar and visible light than undoped nanomaterial. In the present chapter, some recently developed techniques for sustainable environmental applications are briefly discussed. Metal oxides and their classification as monometallic and bimetallic synthesis of metal oxides and metal oxide–based nanomaterials using green methodology are summarized below.
