Un-doped and Cd-doped ZnZrO3/ZnO/ZrO2 nano composites (CDZZ-NCPs) (CD0-4) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The nano composites were characterized by various techniques such as Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDS). The photocatalytic properties of CDZZ...

Anatase TiO(2) single crystals with exposed {001} and {110} facets have been successfully synthesized using a modified hydrothermal technique in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and hydrofluoric acid solution; these single crystals exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activities for degradation of Methylene Blue dye under ultraviolet light irradiation.

A novel Ag/AgBr/BiOBr hybrid was prepared by a rational in situ ion exchange reaction between BiOBr hierarchical microspheres and AgNO(3) in ethylene glycol followed by light reduction, which displayed superior visible light driven photocatalytic activities in sterilization of pathogenic organism and degradation of organic dye compared to N-doped P25.

We herein report a facile and general approach to modulating the band energy level of semiconductors for visible-light photocatalysis via iodide surface decoration. This strategy enables the wide-band-gap Bi2O2CO3 to possess a continuously tunable band gap and profoundly boosted visible-light photocatalytic performance for dye degradation and NO removal.

Metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5) and bimetallic MOF-5s (Co/Zn and Ni/Zn) were prepared via a simple solvothermal method. Samples were characterized by various techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and elemental analysis (EA). Photo...

In this work, α-Fe2O3 (hematite) nanoparticles were synthesized using Arabic gum (AG) as a biotemplate source by the sol-gel method. This method has many advantages such as low-cost, nontoxicity, simple work-up, high efficiency, compounds uniformity, and high efficiency. The α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR...
