Hydroxyapatite, one of the most well-known calcium phosphate compounds, has been extensively applied as a bioceramic for artificial bone tissue crafting, ion-exchange fillers for heavy metal ions, and adsorbents of proteins owing to its unique chemical and physical properties. The application of hydroxyapatite as a green catalyst for the oxidative decomposition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) opens a new avenue for the design and development of functional ceramic materials. This review summarizes the catalytic decomposition of VOCs on hydroxyapatites under both thermal- and photo-excited conditions, followed by a detailed summary of the correlated chemical structure and surface characteristics, as well as elucidation of the catalytic mechanism. |
