Improved photocatalytic property of peony-like InOOH for degrading norfloxacin

Heterogeneous In/Mo cooperative bandgap engineering for promoting visible-light-driven CO2 photoreduction

“…And the characteristic absorption peaks attributed to InOOH are located at 2924 cm −1 (–CH 2 asymmetric stretching mode), 2854 cm −1 (–CH 2 symmetric stretching mode), 1269 cm −1 (O–H bending or deformation vibration), 1160 cm −1 (O–H bending or deformation vibration), and 491 cm −1 (In–O vibration), respectively. 52,53 The characteristic peaks attributed to both In(OH) 3 and InOOH were observed for the Mo–IOOH/IOH-20 composite photocatalysts, which further confirmed that the Mo–IOOH/IOH-20 composite photocatalysts have been successfully obtained. The structural information of InOOH, IOOH/IOH-20, and Mo–IOOH/IOH-20 was also further investigated by Raman spectrometry (Fig.…”

“…48,49 However, the hydroxy-rich In(OH) 3 and InOOH, as wide bandgap semiconductors, are generally unable to absorb visible light, which will limit their applications in the eld of CO 2 photoreduction. [50][51][52] It is noteworthy that InOOH as a catalyst for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction has been rarely reported. Therefore, by appropriate modication engineering to adjust the band structure, promote visible light absorption, and achieve effective electron-hole separation, they will surely become promising visible lightresponsive photocatalysts.…”

A Defect Engineered Electrocatalyst that Promotes High-Efficiency Urea Synthesis under Ambient Conditions

“…Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the surface chemical status of V O -InOOH can be probed. As reflected in the In 3d XPS spectra (Figure c), the peaks located at 452.2 and 444.7 eV indicate that only In 3+ is present . The deconvoluted O 1s XPS spectrum displays the fitting peaks at 530.1, 531.5, and 532.9 eV (Figure d), which correspond to lattice oxygen, V O , and surface −OH, respectively .…”

Practice on treating pharmaceutical compounds (antibiotics) present in wastewater using biosorption techniques with different biowaste compounds. A review

“…The discharge of the component in aquatic systems and its degradation has been discussed in many studies with novel treating methods like, 65 has explained that these components can be degraded three pathways and the peperazinyl ring was the most reactive site. In other studies 66 achieved >90% of removal using sludge activated carbon‐based CoFe 2 O 4 (CoFe 2 O 4 ‐SAC) nanocomposites, the in‐situ growing Bi 2 O 3 on Bi‐based photocatalysts has also given effective measurement for degrading of norfloxacin (NFX), 67 the degradation efficiency of peony‐like InOOH has reached 98.84% degradation 68 . The high degradation efficiency of 90% was achieved after the configuration of composite through Reduced graphene oxide, 69 83.9% of NFX removal has been achieved by electrochemical and photo‐electrochemicalcatalysis, 70 The CoWO4 nanoparticles assemble with g‐C3N4 nanosheets successfully fabricated in hydrothermal method played a dominant role in NFX degradation 71 .…”
