Abstract
The primary challenges we currently encounter worldwide are the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Concerns about the energy crisis have grown due to the rapid depletion of fossil resources and the world's population growth. At the same time, rising greenhouse gas emissions have increased global warming and climate change. The development of sustainable energy resources without pollution is currently the most important issue to be resolved. The search for environment-friendly energy sources has resulted in a significant shift toward energy harvesting systems by using transition metals, which provide clean energy and help in removing pollutants. The tunable characters and high efficiency of transition metal oxides (TMOs) like TiO2, MnO2, Fe2O3, CuO, AgO, WO3, ZnO, etc., and their composites have made them a suitable choice for energy harvesting applications. This article offers an overview of the most recent developments in doped TMO and TMO-based composites for energy harvesting and pollutant removal systems along with an in-depth examination of recent breakthroughs in the synthesis of nanostructured composites, for improving the material performance to enhance their efficiency in energy and environmental application. At last, we discuss the existing challenges and future directions in this rapidly evolving field, providing a guideline for researchers and engineers working towards sustainable energy solutions.
