چکیده

The visible light photochemical reactivity of a 50 nm thick α-Fe(2)O(3)(0001) (hematite) film on a SrTiO(3)(111) substrate is compared to the reactivities of bulk hematite and the same film supported by α-Al(2)O(3)(0001). The hematite film supported by SrTiO(3)(111) is far more reactive then the other two cases.

Intriguing photo-control of exchange bias in BiFeO3/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3 substrates

To date, electric fields have been widely used to control the magnetic properties of BiFeO3-based antiferromagnet/ferromagnet heterostructures through application of an exchange bias. To extend the applicability of exchange bias, however, an alternative mechanism to electric fields is required. Here, we report the photo-control of exchange bias in BiFeO3/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 thin films on an SrTiO3 s...

Deposition and disinfection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on naturally occurring photoactive materials in a parallel plate chamber.

Dissolved organic matter in combination with iron oxides has been shown to facilitate photochemical disinfection through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under UV and visible light. However, due to the extremely short lifetime of these radicals, the disinfection efficiency is limited by the successful transport of ROS to bacterial surfaces. This study was designed to quantitative...

Synthesis, characterization and degradation activity of Methyl orange Azo dye using synthesized CuO/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite

This study investigated the photo-degradation of methyl orange (MO) as a type of azo dye using a CuO/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite. A CuO/α-Fe2O3 powder with a crystalline size in the range of 27-49 nm was successfully prepared using simple co-precipitation along with a sonication method. The characterization of the synthesized sample was done via XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, FTIR and DRS analyses. The Tauc equat...

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...
