In thin film heterojunctions the order of the layers is crucial to obtain a synergistic effect. The layout S-BiOI–BiOBr boosted the photocatalytic activity as light was completely used and the charges were favored to move to the surface and react.
The degradation pathway of temephos pesticide was elucidated using efficient photocatalytic ZnO nanowire and flower-like films. The monitoring of the subproducts is crucial as they are even more toxic than the original pesticide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
