Graphitic carbon-encapsulated V2O5 nanocomposites as a superb photocatalyst for crystal violet degradation

Influence of Calcination Temperature on Ciprofloxacin Photodegradation by Vanadium Pentoxide / Graphitic Carbon Nitride Photocatalyst

“…V 2 O 5 nanostructures have a narrow band gap (2.3 eV), wide light response, and stable chemical properties. V 2 O 5 's drawbacks include photo corrosion, electron-hole recombination, and low electronic conductivity [8]. Thus, V 2 O 5 can be improved by attaching carbon nanostructures like activated carbon (AC) and graphitic carbon (GC).…”

Recent progress in anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in water electrolysis: synthesis, physio-chemical analysis, properties, and applications

“…A wide range of materials for a variety of applications was developed, including silica, carbons, layered double hydroxide materials, perovskites, metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, nanomaterials, zeolites, membranes, thin films, aerogels, xerogel, and clays, which were used for various applications such as energy, medicines, sensors, water treatment, solar cells, optoelectronics, and CO 2 conversion. 63–84 Among them, membranes are made of polymers, making them highly flexible, hydrophobic, high-performance, mass-produced, economical, and reliable for specific applications. 85–87 Accordingly, an anion exchange membrane (AEMs) is a semi-permeable membrane with ionic head groups attached to polymer substances.…”

CuO‐SiO2 based nanocomposites: Synthesis, characterization, photocatalytic, antileishmanial, and antioxidant studies

“…Conventional dye‐contaminated treatment methods such as biological degradation, and physical methods, including coagulation, adsorption, deposition, etc., are proven to be inefficient in color removal 29–31 . Among chemical treatment methods, heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysis has recently received immense attention due to advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) involved in the degradation of dye pollutants 32,33 . In AOPs, 34,35 the semiconductor photocatalyst produces powerful oxidant radical species in the presence of incident light via photogenerated electron–hole pairs mechanism that dissociate and mineralize the organic pollutant into harmless end products.…”

“…[29][30][31] Among chemical treatment methods, heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysis has recently received immense attention due to advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) involved in the degradation of dye pollutants. 32,33 In AOPs, 34,35 the semiconductor photocatalyst produces powerful oxidant radical species in the presence of incident light via photogenerated electron-hole pairs mechanism that dissociate and mineralize the organic pollutant into harmless end products. Generally, nano-sized, visible-light responsive photocatalysts have been considered economical due to their cost-effectiveness in utilizing a major proportion of light spectrum ($45%) compared with UV-light ($3%).…”
