N2 - Due to the impact of photo-active materials on removal of disposed pharmaceutical waste and synthetic dyes from wastewater, attention of numerous researchers has been hugely turned onto dynamic degradation efficiency of various photocatalysts constituents. On the application of photo-active composites, they are predominantly synthesized from nanoparticles, and fabricated to photo-active semiconductors. At the center of overcoming limitations of photocatalysis technique which encompass rapid photo generation electron-hole pairs, high operational costs and utilization of small portion of solar energy, synergism of photocatalysist technique to electrochemical oxidation became a necessity for a better degradation efficiency. Hence, this chapter addresses a dynamic degradation efficiency provided by combined photocatalysists within variety of synthetic dyes and pharmaceutical products and application of photoelectrochemical oxidation technique. An emphatically sensitized discussion is on variety of synthetic dyes, pharmaceutical products, environmental concerns and photocatalysists. Overall, a degradation efficiency based on paramount factors has thoroughly been clarified.
