Abstract

Persistent organic substances in wastewater are creating serious problems to the living world as well as to the environment, thereby creating huge detrimental impact on the ecosystem. In view of the grave situation, removal of the persistent organic substances from wastewater effluent holds a great promise to balance the ecosystem and to sustain societal impact value. In this respect, perovskite based photocatalysts have achieved remarkable attention to the scientific community due to their unique structural features and flexibility of composition. Again, surface polarization and electric dipole-dipole interaction in the perovskite material make them attractive for photocatalytic application. This review paper summarized the photocatalytic activity of perovskite materials and their modification to enhance catalytic activity for wastewater treatment. The modification in perovskite has been done to reduce bandgap energy for enhanced visible light activity, separation of charge carriers for their long lifetime, and fast photocatalytic reaction. The recent investigation of ABO₃ type perovskite, layered perovskite, and halide type of perovskite photocatalysts have been discussed detailly. The modification of corresponding perovskites by doped and formation of heterojunction is investigated carefully. The formation and identification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their degradation mechanism by trapping experiment and ESR technique has been summarized here. Finally, large scale with energy and environmental related research should be processed for a permanent solution of wastewater problem.
