TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\u2010based photodegradation has shown great potential as a low\u2010cost and sustainable technology in water treatment, however, can only use the UV light range of solar radiation which makes the system less efficient. Dyes have been studied to improve the TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> system light\u2010harvesting range, but studies on environmental friendly natural dyes are rare. In this study, a screening method using UV\u2010Vis spectra analysis was carried out on a group of 22 different tropical natural plants for the potential applications on dye\u2010sensitized TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> in PPCP treatment. As a result, <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> \u201cMartin's Mystery\u201d significantly increased TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> photodegradation efficiency toward ibuprofen treatments which is first time reported in literature as our best knowledge. Moreover, the promising discovery of <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> application in ibuprofen treatment has been successfully applied to warfarin and famotidine treatment. Similar results were expanded to many other <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> species which indicate that <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> extracts could be excellent sensitizers for TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\u2010based photodegradation of PPCPs. Our discovery suggested that the screening process may potentially open a brand\u2010new way for future TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> photodegradation studies before the complex and time\u2010consuming detailed mechanism studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Practitioner points.<\/jats:title><jats:p>\n<jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Natural dyes were screened as sensitizers for TiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> photodegradation of ibuprofen.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Ibuprofen photodegradation efficiency was increased twice using <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> \u201cMartin's Mystery.\u201d<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>The <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> applications were extended to warfarin, trimethoprim, and famotidine.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Promising results were also observed using five other <jats:italic>Begonia<\/jats:italic> species.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list>\n<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wer.1310","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,17]],"date-time":"2020-02-17T01:50:36Z","timestamp":1581904236000},"page":"1152-1161","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Photodegradation of ibuprofen and four other pharmaceutical pollutants on natural pigments sensitized TiO<sub>2<\/sub> nanoparticles"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Kristen","family":"Patterson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Natural Sciences New College of Florida Sarasota FL USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Howlett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Natural Sciences New College of Florida Sarasota FL USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelsey","family":"Patterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Natural Sciences New College of Florida Sarasota FL USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry North Carolina A&amp;T State University Greensboro NC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0279-1251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Natural Sciences New College of Florida Sarasota FL USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/srep25405"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2014.09.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2018.05.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ie101919v"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/es503729h"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jphotochemrev.2005.09.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/la202459g"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2010.02.039"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.watres.2015.04.038"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seppur.2016.09.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envpol.2014.07.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","first-page":"16","article-title":"Nanomaterials for the abatement of pharmaceuticals and personal care products from wastewater","volume":"8","author":"Freyria F.
