Intrinsic photocatalytic oxidation of the dye adsorbed on TiO2 photocatalysts by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy

Flow photochemistry: Old light through new windows

“…The photocatalyst can be effectively deposited onto a microreactor surface, thus eliminating the need for subsequent removal of the catalyst in dispersed powder form as would be required in a batch reactor. This methodology has been shown to be effective in the oxidative degradation of a range of organic compounds, including methylene blue, [41–43] o -cresol [44], perchloroethylene [45] and 4-chlorophenol [46], mainly with a view to air and water purification [47]. The following section will focus only on synthetic applications of such reactors.…”

Decolorization of C.I. Basic Yellow 28 solution using supported ZnO nanoparticles coupled with photoelectro-Fenton process

“…Generally, the effect of pH on organic matter degradation assisted by the semiconductor oxides has been related to the acid-base equilibrium governing the surface chemistry of metal oxides in water [29][30][31][32]:…”

CTAB-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of silver vanadates and their photocatalytic characterization

“…It is well known that the properties like crystalline structure, density of OH groups, and adsorption/desorption characteristics are crucial to the photodecomposition of organic compounds. The in-situ IR spectroscopy of IPA was studied using the DRIFTS cell with an FTIR spectrometer (Yang et al, 2001). Fig.…”
