Abstract:Electronic properties of composite Fe and activated carbon (AC) were determined by using X‐ray photoelectron (XPS) and reflection electron energy loss (REELS), structural properties by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and photo‐catalytic performance by ultra violet visible (UV‐Vis) spectroscopy. The intensity of low loss spectrum shows surface state at 5.42 eV is decreased with increasing the amount of AC indicated the Fe successfully oxidizes to form iron oxide. The bandgap was increased from 2.2 eV for 10% AC to 4.3… Show more
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.
