Photocatalysis. In their Communication (e202304474), Markus R. Heinrich et al. demonstrate the linkage of ruthenium photocatalysis with chemiluminescence read-out from a 1,2-dioxetane. The ruthenium-dioxetane system was shown to be useful for quantification optical input by inverse correlation output.

Polypyrol film was deposited on SS304by employing CPCvoltametery method, then coated with nano TiO2 (PPy/TiO2 )and used as a photocatalysis for degradation of somedyesacid fushin, methylenblue, methyl orange and methyl red. The SEM and XRD analysis indicated nano size of TiO2 deposits as 20nm on the polypyrol film. The UV result of absorption revealed that this film increased the rate of degrad...

During recent years, many advanced oxidation techniques have been investigated for water and wastewater treatment to overcome the shortage of clean water. This review summarizes the background and principles of photocatalysis applied as an advanced oxidation technology. In particular, this paper focuses on modification of photocatalysts with various dopants as well as the novel photocatalytic r...

The present work is a short review of our recent studies on PhotoFuelCells, that is, photoelectrochemical cells which consume a fuel to produce electricity or hydrogen, and presents some unpublished data concerning both electricity and hydrogen production. PhotoFuelCells have been constructed using nanoparticulate titania photoanodes and various cathode electrodes bearing a few different types ...

In recent years, layered bismuth oxyhalide nanomaterials have received more and more interest as promising photocatalysts because their unique layered structures endow them with fascinating physicochemical properties; thus, they have great potential photocatalytic applications for environment remediation and energy harvesting. In this article, we explore the synthesis strategies and growth mech...
