Ethylene Removal and Fresh Product Storage: A Challenge at the Frontiers of Chemistry. Toward an Approach by Photocatalytic Oxidation

Facile synthesis of Z-scheme graphitic-C3N4/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposite for enhanced visible photocatalytic properties

“…Over the past two decades, considerable public and scientific attention has been focused on semiconductor photocatalysts in environmental pollution remediation field because of the simple fabrication procedures, environmental friendliness, transparency, and excellent plasticity [1][2][3][4][5]. Due to its high chemical stability, nontoxicity, long-term stability and low cost, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) has been widely used in toxic pollutant degradation applications [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Photocatalytic degradation of ethylene on mesoporous TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposites: Effects on the ripening of mature green tomatoes

“…Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is one of the best photocatalysts because it is chemically inert, highly photostable, environmentally-friendly, and of low cost. Thus, TiO 2 is widely used in environmental remediation (Hussain, Bensaid, Geobaldo, Saracco, & Russo, 2011;Keller, Ducamp, Robert, & Keller, 2013;Padmanavan, Pal, Haq, & Licciulli, 2014;Pal, Laera, Licciulli, Catalano, & Taurino, 2014). When activated by UV light, TiO 2 generates hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions on its surface that act as oxidising agents to convert the organic pollutants into CO 2 and water vapour (Akiyama & Togeda, 2000;Maneerat et al, 2003).…”

Photocatalytic degradation and electricity generation in a rotating disk photoelectrochemical cell over hierarchical structured BiOBr film

“…After more than 40 years development, photocatalytic (PC) technique has been widely applied in air purification [1], self-cleaning surface [2], fresh product storage [3] and anti-fogging [4]. However, in the field of water treatment, the application of PC technique is still restricted due to the low light utilization efficiency [5].…”
