Abstract
Dive into the captivating world of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCs), classic compounds with the formula TMX2, promising potent photocatalytic prowess in degrading emerging pollutants, notably antibiotics. The hybridized form of TMDCs steals the spotlight, showcasing an enhanced ability for antibiotics degradation due to corresponding synergetic effect, as observed from the literature. The narrative explores key factors influencing antibiotics degradation, encompassing a wide array of photocatalytic synthesis approaches and strategies for boosting its performance. Detailed studies on antibiotics degradation using hybrid TMDCs vividly illustrate the growing foothold of research in this direction. Through addressing the challenges faced by TMDC hybrid photocatalysts in antibiotic degradation, the present review not only unveils obstacles but also suggests prospective solutions for the future. This concise yet comprehensive review serves as a global compass, inviting researchers worldwide to delve into the realm of hybrid TMDC photocatalysts and contribute to our collective understanding. In the face of environmental challenges, this review offers valuable insights, pointing the way toward a cleaner and sustainable future.
