Research progress of magnetic silicate nanomaterials for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants

Photocatalysis is an effective method for removing recalcitrant organic pollutants from water, demonstrating significant potential due to its high mineralization efficiency. However, the practical application of most photocatalysts is hindered by their powder form, posing challenges for large-scale use. Recently, magnetic silicate composite materials have garnered increasing attention in the field of materials science due to their stability and recyclability. In this review, we examine the current state of research on magnetic silicate composite materials as photocatalysts, exploring the latest advancements in synthesis, modification, and degradation mechanisms. Finally, we provide an outlook on the research findings and future challenges associated with magnetic silicate composite materials.
