Abstract

n this chapter, we aim to give special focus on biodegradable nanocomposites used as catalytic and photocatalytic materials for organic transformation reactions and organic pollutants degradation process. This chapter covers biodegradable nanocomposites containing most popular metal oxides nanoparticles such as TiO2, ZnO, CeO2 and other interesting materials from the recent publications. Spectral, morphological and mechanical properties and photocatalytic properties also will be discussed. Current challenges of the existing materials and future research direction to get the better catalytic/photacatalytic nanocomposites also will be presented.
