      Abstract: 
      
The industrial growth of sectors such as paper, textiles, medicine, rubber, and plastics has led to an increase in pollution from organic dyes. The release of hazardous dyes into water bodies poses serious health risks due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Finding effective treatment methods for these harmful effluents is essential. One promising solution is the use of nanoparticles as photocatalysts, which has shown significant potential. Nanoparticles can be synthesized through various methods and are effective in decontaminating dyes from polluted water. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, along with their nanocomposites, provide strong solutions for the photocatalytic degradation of hazardous dyes. This paper reviews the types of dyes, metal nanoparticles, the photocatalytic degradation process, and the mechanisms involved in dye degradation.
