Abstract: Pollutants is one of the ecological contaminations for the time being days as effect of mechanical improvement in a few nations. Heavy metals and dyes give harmful consequences for human wellbeing and cause a few genuine maladies. A few systems have been utilizing for expelling toxic contaminants from the natural yet these strategies have impediments, for example, cost expense, logistical issues and time consuming, low efficiency. Phytoremediation is the best alternative for tidying up condition, as it is the naturally economical and ecologically practical innovation. Phytoremediation offers proprietors and chiefs of toxic polluted locales is an imaginative and financially effective choice to address headstrong natural contaminants. As it uses plants characteristic capacity to suck the contamination present in the dirt. There are numerous plants having this regular capacity to up take the toxic contaminants and natural contaminations from air, soil and water. There are distinctive subsets of phytoremediation; the most successfully utilized ones are (a) Phytostabilization (b) Rhizodegradation (c) Rhizofiltration (d) Phytodegradation (e) Phytoextraction (f) Phytoaccumulation (g) Phytovolatilization. This review focuses on fortifying innovation system, upgrade the resilience and protection from toxic contaminants, and application impact of phytoremediation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and applications of photocatalysts for environmental decontamination and for production of biodiesel, methanol and hydrogen are reviewed for the purpose of renewable energy.
Abstract: Water pollution and fossil fuels are major issues in the context of climate change. Photocatalysis research is rising to develop green technologies for the remediation of pollutants and for energy production. Photocatalysis converts the light energy as photons into chemical energy using semiconducting materials. Different methods are utilised to synthesise these photocatalytic materials. Metal and coupled metal frameworks are applied for the production of photocatalytic materials. Here we review the synthesis and applications of photocatalysts for environmental decontamination and for production of biodiesel, methanol and hydrogen. Pollutants include dyes, pesticides, herbicides, phenols and antibiotics.
