Critical review of perovskite-based materials in advanced oxidation system for wastewater treatment: Design, applications and mechanisms

Perovskite has been widely concerned in the field of modern environmental catalysis due to its low price, high stability, excellent catalytic activity, diverse structure and strong conversion adaptability. In recent years, people have been working on the coupling of perovskite catalysts and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this review, we classified perovskites of different designs and summarized the application and basic reaction mechanisms of each perovskite in different AOPs. This review helps scientists selecting and designing more effective perovskite catalysts for AOPs by summarizing the applications and reaction mechanisms of perovskite in AOPs. At the end of the review, the challenges and future directions of perovskite in removing organic pollutants from wastewater are discussed.
