Boosted visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of lomefloxacin over α-Ag2WO4/NiSx nanocomposites

Bismuth tungstate Bi2WO6: a review on structural, photophysical and photocatalytic properties

“…89 In recent times, CdWO 4 , PbWO 4 , ZnWO 4 , and Ag 2 WO 4 have been utilized for photocatalysis because of their favorable electronic band structures that promote chemical reactivity and facilitate the production of free radicals in aqueous suspensions. [90][91][92][93][94] Nevertheless, the practical application of these materials in the visible range is hindered by their high gap energy.…”

Construction of a novel S-type γ-Bi2O3/CeO2 heterojunction for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics

“…5,6 Lomefloxacin and tetracycline are the thirdgeneration wide-spectrum antibiotics with a good killing effect on different types of bacteria. 7,8 In order to reduce the content of antibiotics in water, many methods were developed to remove lomefloxacin and tetracycline. 9,10 Photocatalysis technology only requires light irradiation, a catalyst and a simple operating process for the removal of antibiotics.…”

Solvent Effect on the Structural, Optical, Morphology, and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Phosphate Microcrystals by Conventional Hydrothermal Method

“…Although the photocatalytic properties of titanium oxide and zinc oxide have already been described in the literature, the limitations of these materials to ultraviolet region have led to the search for materials that allow the use of visible radiation from solar sources. Therefore, silver-based compounds, such as silver phosphate (Ag 3 PO 4 ), − silver vanadate (Ag 3 VO 4 ), , silver tungstates (Ag 2 WO 4 ), , silver molybdates (Ag 2 MoO 4 ), , silver niobates (AgNbO 3 ), , arise in this context, which exhibit strong absorption of visible light, and consequently the generation of radicals.…”
