Abstract:Non-free radical photocatalysis with metal oxide catalysts is an important advanced oxidation process that enables the removal of various emerging environmental pollutants, such as tetracycline. Here, four hexagonal La 2 O 3 photocatalysts with different densities of oxygen vacancy and crystalline features are synthesized and then further treated by ball milling. Ball milling of these La 2 O 3 photocatalysts is found to increase the amount of oxygen vacancies on their surfaces and thereby the amount of 1 O 2 s… Show more
