Experimental method to explore the adaptation degree of type-II and all-solid-state Z-scheme heterojunction structures in the same degradation system

Enhanced Photocatalytic Properties of Surfactants Modified ZnO Particles Synthesized Directly via Sonochemistry Technique

“…Figure11b shows the relationship of the photocatalytic reaction kinetics ln(C 0 /C) and irradiation time based on photocatalytic performance. Obviously, all the curves in Figure 11b are close to a linear graph, confirming that the degradation process conforms to the pseudo‐first‐order reaction [17,68] . The reaction rate constant (k) values of SA‐2 %SDS, SA‐4 %SDS, SA‐6 %SDS, SA‐8 %SDS and SA‐10 % SDS are 0.123, 0.360, 0.422, 0.294, 0.273 min −1 .…”

SA-6 %SDS exhibits the highest rate constant value of 0.422 min À 1 , illustrating that the 6 % SDS addition amount of ZnO has the optimal photocatalytic performance.…”

High Photocatalytic Efficiency of Al2O3-TiO2 Coatings on 304 Stainless Steel for Methylene Blue and Wastewater Degradation

“…This migration may result in interfacial interactions with the Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 phases in the coating, as both the coating structuration and crystallization originate from the same solution. It has been reported in the literature that heterojunctions with carbonaceous materials, metal nanoparticles, metal oxides, and phosphates enhance the photocatalytic activity, leading to better response in the visible spectrum and improvement of the TiO 2 antibacterial activity [58,59]. In this context, both the interfacial interaction and heterojunction (considering chromium oxide's nature to be a semiconductor) may explain the high efficiency of the reactor.…”

Inorganic-organic hybrid photocatalysts: Syntheses, mechanisms, and applications

“…The consistency of the bandgap energy of semiconductor materials constituting heterojunctions is very important. The organic and inorganic components form a heterostructure to improve photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst [235][236][237][238].…”
