Nanotechnology is one of the most developed sciences which different researchers need to see its application in industry. This review examines the utilization of SnO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) in photocatalytic and microbial activities, focusing on their potential applications and recent advancements. SnO2 and TiO2 NPs have emerged as promising candidates for addressing environmental challenges and public health concerns due to their unique properties, including high surface area, photostability, and antimicrobial efficacy. Photocatalysis, driven by solar energy, offers an efficient pathway for pollutant degradation and renewable energy production, with TiO2 NPs demonstrating exceptional performance in various catalytic processes. Moreover, the antimicrobial properties of both SnO2 and TiO2 NPs make them effective agents for disinfection and sanitation applications, holding significant promise for combating microbial contamination in healthcare and water treatment. Despite their considerable potential, challenges such as optimizing nanoparticle characteristics and assessing potential risks to human health and the environment remain. Future research directions should focus on enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of SnO2 and TiO2 NPs through tailored synthesis approaches and understanding their interactions with biological systems. Overall, this review underscores the importance of SnO2 and TiO2 NPs in advancing sustainable technologies for environmental remediation and public health protection.
