Insight of the effect of chitosan modification on the photocatalytic properties of metal-based and metal-free photocatalysts

Chitosan is a polymeric material having properties such as adsorption and hydrophilicity. itself almost photocatalytically inactive, but it can couple with other photocatalysts to improve their photocatalytic activity. significantly enhances photocatalysts' lowers the charge carrier recombination, which ultimately aids in enhanced In this review, we have discussed chitosan's basic structural, electronic, chemical properties. We also explored of chitosan chitosan-based materials. Since metal-based metal-free semiconductors are two major classes semiconductor photocatalysts, so described how be used enhance limitations photocatalysts. This review will help develop better understanding materials for photocatalysis. future aspects research future.
