Several nanomaterials are commonly used for their photocatalytic properties:
- Titanium dioxide (TiO2): Widely used due to its strong oxidative power, chemical stability, and non-toxicity. - Zinc oxide (ZnO): Known for its high electron mobility and ability to absorb UV light. - Graphene: Often used to enhance the efficiency of other photocatalysts due to its excellent electrical conductivity and large surface area. - Cadmium sulfide (CdS): Effective in visible light but has toxicity concerns.
