Application Progress and Prospects of Nanomaterials in Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic Sterilization Technologies
With the rapid development of the economy,water pollution poses a serious threat to people's lives and health.Traditional disinfection methods,such as chlorination,often produce harmful disinfection by-products and a large amount of chemical consumption.Membrane filtration removes pathogens,and there are still biological fouling and limited treatment capabilities.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a fast,long-term and stable sterilization and disinfection method.At present,catalytic sterilization technologies,such as photocatalysis,electrocatalysis,photothermal catalysis,and photocatalysis,have become emerging disinfection methods.This article reviews the research progress of different catalytic sterilization technologies,discusses the application and reaction mechanism of catalytic materials in different sterilization technologies,and prospects the development of catalytic technology.
