This review summarizes the background and principles of photocatalysis applied as an advanced oxidation technology. In particular, this paper focuses on modification of photocatalysts with various dopants as well as the novel photocatalytic reactors to improve the oxidation efficiency of the pollutants in water and wastewater.
