Many phenols, phthalates and other toxins are released into the environment from industrial
or agricultural processes, or household waste. These compounds are often stable and
difficult to degrade in wastewater facilities, thus posing a serious long-time risk. The
development of novel and efficient technologies for the environmentally sustainable removal
of these dangerous compounds from different sources is of crucial importance. The
photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutants in the presence of semiconductors such as tin …
