In recent study, there are many researches going on to degrade different organic and inorganic contaminants from the wastewater by doing photocatalytic activity. Nowadays, many photocatalysts are using to degrade pollutants. Many conventional researches are reported about using nanocomposites as a photocatalyst. The photocatalytic oxidation of organic-inorganic compounds with nanocomposites as a photocatalyst has been widely premeditated and many achievements have been made. Many synthesis methods of metal nanocomposites have been reported; therein the sol-gel technology is a simple and accurate method to synthesis very fined and crystalline nanoparticles. It has various and valuable properties like reactivity, high melting point and boiling point, hardness, ductility, electronegative property and ionisation energies, electric and thermal conductivity and closely packed structures, which can be apply in various disciplines of research areas. Nanocomposites are used as a photocatalyst for decomposing organic and inorganic compounds due to its high photocatalytic activity, chemical and physical inertness and photochemical stability and reactivity. In this review paper, the synthesis processes of different metal oxide based nanocomposites have been explained with their different characterisation studies to degrade various pollutants from organic-inorganic compounds. There are diverse arrays of using different nanocomposites to degrade pollutants by using photocatalytic activity.
