Photocatalysis, which is the catalyzation of redox reactions via the use of energy obtained from light sources, is a topic that has garnered a lot of attention in recent years as a means of addressing the environmental and economic issues plaguing society today. Of particular interest are photosynthesis can potentially mimic a variety of vital reactions, many of which hold the key to develop sustainable energy economy. In light of this, many of the technological and procedural advancements that have recently occurred in the field are discussed in this review, namely those linked to: (1) photocatalysts made from metal oxides, nitride, and sulfides; (2) photocatalysis via polymeric carbon nitride (PCN); and (3) general advances and mechanistic insights related to TiO2-based catalysts. The challenges and opportunities that have arisen over the past few years are discussed in detail. Basic concepts and experimental procedures which could be useful for eventually overcoming the problems associated with photo-catalysis are presented herein.
