Nitrogen and carbon codopants-stabilized hierarchical porous ZnS microspheres undergo an unexpected dynamic transformation into hollow microspheres when nitrogen and carbon are removed from the former. Thus, such a transformation is evidence for the unprecedented stability of non-metal doped visible light-responsive photocatalysts.

Visible-light active conducting polymer nanostructures with superior photocatalytic activity

The development of visible-light responsive photocatalysts would permit more efficient use of solar energy, and thus would bring sustainable solutions to many environmental issues. Conductive polymers appear as a new class of very active photocatalysts under visible light. Among them poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is one of the most promising conjugated polymer with a wide range of ap...

Fabrication of Magnetically Recoverable Nanocomposites by Combination of Fe3O4/ZnO with AgI and Ag2CO3: Substantially Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity under Visible Light

We report highly efficient magnetically recoverable photocatalysts through combination of Fe3O4/ZnO with AgI and Ag2CO3, as narrow band gap semiconductors. The resultant photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, EDX, SEM. TEM, UV–vis DRS, FT-IR, PL, and VSM instruments. Under visible-light illumination, the nanocomposite with 1:6 weight ratio of Fe3O4 to ZnO/AgI/Ag2CO3 exhibited superior activi...
