High visible-light photochemical activity of titania decorated on single-wall carbon nanotube aerogels
Photocatalysts are being extensively investigated to convert renewable solar energy into chemical energy but suffer from high costs or low efficiencies. We report on the development of highly visible-light photoactive composites of titania (TiO2) and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) that rapidly photodegrade methylene blue dyes under visible-light illumination in the absence of cocatalysts...
متن کاملEnvironmental Remediation of Organic Pollutants in Synthesized and Characterized Aqueous Suspension by Photochemical Method: A Kinetic Study
Comparative study of the of azo Dyes (as a class important organic pollutants photodegradation process) in aqueous solution employing H2 O2 /UV and K2 S2 O8 /UV systems in a photochemical reactor were investigated. Lead zirconate titanate [Pb (Zr0.58Ti0.42) O3 ] (PZT) nanocatalyst was synthesized via the sol-gel method. Then, photocatalytic properties of dopant type on PZT were determined in a ...

متن کاملADSORPTION AND PHOTODEGRADATION OF PROCION YELLOW H-EXL DYES IN TEXTILE WASTEWATER OVER TiO2 SUSPENSION
Removal of a commercial dye (Procion yellow H-EXL) in both synthetic and real wastewater from textile industry over TiO2 suspension has been investigated. The study included both adsorption process (over TiO2) and photocatalytic degradation process in the presence of UV illumination (UV/TiO2). The processes were carried out in aqueous solutions containing the dyes in the presence of titanium di...
متن کاملHierarchical, titania-coated, carbon nanofibrous material derived from a natural cellulosic substance.
Hierarchical, titania-coated, nanofibrous, carbon hybrid materials were fabricated by employing natural cellulosic substances (commercial filter paper) as a scaffold and carbon precursor. Ultrathin titania films were firstly deposited by means of a surface sol-gel process to coat each nanofiber in the filter paper, and successive calcination treatment under nitrogen atmosphere yielded the titan...
