Abstract
This review focuses on nanocomposite photocatalysts as effective materials for the removal of organic dyes from water
(including Congo Red, Methylene Blue, Methyl Orange, Rhodamine B and others). Nanocomposite photocatalysts are
structured porous materials capable of floating on the water surface and absorbing sunlight to activate chemical reactions. The
review outlines the principles of photocatalyst action in processes such as the degradation of organic compounds, prevention of
biological contamination, and self-cleaning of water surfaces. This review emphasizes the importance of further research and
development of nanocomposite photocatalysts to enhance their efficiency and expand their application in water purification.
