  4. Abstract:
  5. Due to rapid population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, both discharged wastewaters are rich in various pollutants, and energy crises are two of the world's leading challenges. Simultaneous photocatalysis to produce H2 from wastewater treatment is a promising approach for addressing both global environmental and energy problems at the same time. As a step toward achieving this goal, designing visible-light-active photocatalysts has been an appealing approach in dual-functional photocatalytic reactions via heterojunction formation and cocatalyst utilization. In this study, organic pollutants, namely dyes, drugs, and biomass, will be examined to produce hydrogen from these sources. Moreover, the role of various reaction conditions, including pH, photocatalyst weight, pollutant concentration, gas purging, reaction time, light energy, and intensity, on the degree of activity in achieving highly efficient dual-functional photocatalysts will be discussed. © 2023 WILEY-VCH GmbH
