Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for removing pollutants in water and wastewater. Copper (II) oxide has potential as a catalyst, but its performance is hindered by rapid recombination and slow mobility of charge carriers.
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising technology for eradicating organic, inorganic, and microbial pollutants in water and wastewater remediation. It is a more preferable method to other conventional wastewater treatment approaches on account of its low cost, environmental benignity, ability to proceed at ambient temperature and pressure conditions, and capability to completely degrade pollutants under appropriate conditions into environmentally safe products. In heterogeneous photocatalysis, pollutant removal is mainly induced by in-situ generated reactive radicals and their subsequent attack when energetic radiation impinges on the semiconductor catalyst. As such, for the effective and economical removal of wastewater pollutants, the employed catalyst should have high photonic efficiency, less toxic, abundant, chemically and photochemically stableand visible light active. Copper (II) oxide (CuO) is one among such promising compounds and its photocatalytic performance has been hampered primarily by rapid recombination and slow mobility of photogenerated charge carriers. So, this review provides an overview of the strategies adopted to mitigate the aforementioned drawbacks and also other operational parameters to boost its catalytic activity towards the elimination of toxic organic and inorganic metal ion contaminants in an aqueous media.
