The high concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) that found in water in many locations are of concern. Among the available water treatment methods, heterogeneous photocatalysis using TiO₂ is an emerging and viable technology to overcome the occurrence of PPCP in natural and waste water. The combination of carbonaceous materials (e.g., activated carbon, carbon nanotubes and graphene nanosheets) with TiO₂, a recent development, gives significantly improved performance. In this article, we present a critical review of the development and fabrication of carbonaceous-TiO₂ and its application to PPCP removal including its influence on water chemistry, and the relevant operational parameters. Finally, we present an analysis of current priorities in the ongoing research and development of carbonaceous-TiO₂ for the photodegradation of PPCP.

在许多地方的水中发现的高浓度药品和个人护理产品（PPCP）令人关注。在可用的水处理方法中，使用TiO _2的非均相光催化技术是一种新兴的可行技术，可以克服天然和废水中PPCP的出现。含碳材料（例如，活性炭，碳纳米管和石墨烯纳米片）与最近开发的TiO _2的组合可显着改善性能。在本文中，我们对碳质TiO ₂的开发和制造进行了严格的评述。及其在PPCP去除中的应用，包括对水化学的影响以及相关的操作参数。最后，我们对目前正在进行的PPCP光降解用碳质TiO _2的研究和开发中的优先事项进行了分析。
