At present, photocatalytic based degradation of organic pollutants using semiconducting nanomaterials is drawing considerable attention due to direct disposal of organic pollutants such as domestic wastes, pesticides, hydrocarbons, dyes, phenols, fertilizers into the fresh water bodies like rivers, ponds, lakes and underground water through industries (i.e. textiles, paper manufacturing, food processing etc), agriculture and domestic uses. As a result ,it is very difficult for surviving the aquatic flora and fauna. Earlier, adsorbents such as charcoal, clays, zeolites, and ores were employed for purifying and removing the organic pollutants from the water sources. However, it is noticed that adsorption has significant effect on enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the semiconducting nanomaterials and nanocomposite materials. Adsorption process depends on the many factors including morphology, high surface area, pore volume and intra-particles mesoporosity. Photocatalytic degradation decreases for methylene blue, rhodamine B and methyl orange dyes. Analysis reveals that not only type of dyes (cationic or anionic) but also symmetry, molecular structure and orientation of dye molecule are the important factors for electrostatic interaction dependent adsorption which essentially controls the efficiency of the nanocatalyst. In addition, strong interaction between n-type nanomaterials and cationic dyes results degradation of dyes via adsorption process even in the dark.
