Dye-sensitized Photocatalyst of Sepiolite for Organic Dye Degradation

A dye-sensitized visible light photocatalyst-Bi24O31Cl10

The p-block semiconductors are regarded as a new family of visible-light photocatalysts because of their dispersive and anisotropic band structures as well as high chemical stability. The bismuth oxide halides belong to this family and have band structures and dispersion relations that can be engineered by modulating the stoichiometry of the halogen elements. Herein, we have developed a new vis...

Dye-sensitized photocatalyst for effective water splitting catalyst

Renewable hydrogen production is a sustainable method for the development of next-generation energy technologies. Utilising solar energy and photocatalysts to split water is an ideal method to produce hydrogen. In this review, the fundamental principles and recent progress of hydrogen production by artificial photosynthesis are reviewed, focusing on hydrogen production from photocatalytic water...

Sulfur modified ZnO nanorod as a high performance photocatalyst for degradation of Congoredazo dye

Sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure ZnO nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. Prepared nanorods were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC), UV- Vis absorption spectroscopy, Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area and Barrett Joyner Halenda (BJH) pore size distributio...
