Geosmin (GSM), a typical musty odor compound, causes undesirable earthy off-flavors and is a serious concern in the drinking water and aquaculture industries. Here, we employed a novel palladium (Pd) modified tungsten trioxide (WO3) photocatalyst to remove GSM from water under simulated solar light....
