Several efforts have been made for the development of TNMs and used as photocatalysts for water purification. Surface-fluorination has been very much explored for modification of TiO2 via fluorine sources. Among various fluorine sources, HF has been widely employed to regulate synthesis reaction rate perfectively for the formation of different morphologies with improved properties, which are closely related to photocatalysis. In this comprehensive review, an extensive bibliometric survey is described, which presents valuable information through MS Excel and VOS viewer software. Several synthesis methods, parameters and characteristics are critically reviewed. The application of FM-TNMs in photodegradation is briefly reviewed. This review also discussed the influence of surface properties and active surface over separation of charge carrier and process modelling as promising strategies towards their global commercialization. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85111320181&doi=10.1016%2fj.jclepro.2021.128354&partnerID=40&md5=d466774ca0db64c0a2903f705492a29b id_number: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.128354 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Cleaner Production volume: 317 refereed: TRUE issn: 09596526 citation: Zulfiqar, M. and Sufian, S. and Bahadar, A. and Lashari, N. and Rabat, N.E. and Mansor, N.
