Facile fabrication of ternary metal oxide ZnO/CuO/SnO ₂ nanocomposite for excellent photocatalytic degradation of fast green dye

A Review on the Use of Metal Oxide-Based Nanocomposites for the Remediation of Organics-Contaminated Water via Photocatalysis: Fundamentals, Bibliometric Study and Recent Advances

“…The increase in photocatalytic activity stems from a combination of improved photo response, charge separation efficiency and the presence of multiple active sites on the hybrid nanostructures. Generally, these heteronanostructures of mixed MO can vary, for example, from binary, ternary to quaternary nanostructures [ 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 ].…”

Synthesis, characterization, and application of a zinc oxide–pyrrole–thiophene nanocomposite as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of tetracycline

“…Apart from applications as biosensors, solar cells, photodetectors, and photocatalysts, ZnO has been used in the adsorption of many wastewater pollutants. [22][23][24][25][26] However, due to the absence of a large number of functional groups, the adsorption capacity of metal oxides is relatively low. To improve the adsorption capacity of such materials, these are synergistically associated with different crosslinkers, such as polymers, 27,28 zeolites, 29,30 molecular organic frameworks (MOFs), 31 covalent organic frameworks (COFs), clays, 32 and activated carbon.…”

Construction of a g-C3N4/PANI/α-MnO2 direct Z-scheme heterojunction with oxygen-rich vacancies for enhancing photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under visible light

“…Numerous Conventional metal oxides including ZnO, CuO, TiO 2 , BiVO 4 , and Fe 2 O 3 can break down organic contaminants into simpler, harmless molecules with the help of solar radiation. [22][23][24][25][26][27] However, one new semiconductor that is widely employed in the detoxification of organic contaminants like TC from sewage and groundwater is a-MnO 2 . [28][29][30] Possessing excellent reactivity and a substantial surface area, manganese oxides are widely distributed in the lithosphere and hydrosphere.…”
