in the present work, the znfe2o4 nanoparticle has been successfully synthesized. the obtained sample was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem) and its optical property was examined by uv-vis spectrophotometer. fe-sem revealed that the particle size of the znfe2o4 of about 47 nm was synthesized. the photocatalytic performance under uv-vis and vi...

Photoreactivation was observed in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum exposed concurrently to UV radiation (254 nm) and visible light. Photoreactivation rates of airborne cells increased with increasing relative humidity (RH) and decreased with increasing UV dose. Under a constant UV dose with visible light absent, the UV inactivation rate of airborne M. parafortuitum cells decreased by a fact...

stable homogeneous dispersions of carbon nanotubes (cnts) were prepared using ethanol as dispersing agent. then, using sol-gel method, dispersion in the hydroxyapatite matrix and its effects on the microstructure were investigated. the phase composition, chemical structure and morphological and size analyses were performed using xrd, ft-ir, sem, tem/saed/edx and raman spectroscopy. the influenc...

Under UV-visible light irradiation, multiple synergetic promotion effects on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by gold deposition can be observed, and plasmonic Au/TiO2 shows great potential for photocatalytic solar conversion.
