Abstract

Metal doped ZnO supported on porous materials have unique and highly attractive properties and have drawn worldwide attention.

Construction of stable core–shell imprinted Ag-(poly-o-phenylenediamine)/CoFe2O4 photocatalyst endowed with the specific recognition capability for selective photodegradation of ciprofloxacin

“…[10][11][12][13] In this context, photocatalysis, as a green technology which uses light energy and degrades pollutants to non-toxic harmless substances, has aroused great interest among many researchers. [14][15][16][17][18] Recently, TiO 2 , CdS, ZnO and other materials have been extensively studied and widely used as photocatalysts. [19][20][21][22][23] They each have their respective advantages; however, their common shortcomings are also evident, such as poor selectivity, namely, these common photocatalysts cannot selectively remove specic pollutants in the presence of other pollutants.…”

ZIF-8 derived Ag-doped ZnO photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…Over several decades of studies, many semiconductor photocatalysts have been found, such as TiO 2 , 1,2 SnO 2 , 3 ZrO 2 , 4 and ZnO. 5 They possess a high degradation capacity toward toxic and recalcitrant chemical species through relatively simple and low-cost procedures. Among these semiconductor photocatalysts, ZnO, with a band gap of 3.2 eV, has been widely investigated, due to its powerful oxidation capability, non-toxicity and chemical stability.…”

Synthesis of Ag and AgCl co-doped ZIF-8 hybrid photocatalysts with enhanced photocatalytic activity through a synergistic effect

“…Semiconductor photocatalysis has been considered as an efficient way to eliminate the environmental contamination coming from the consumption of energy and dwindling fossil fuels because it can degrade organic pollutants into green matter, such as H 2 O, and CO 2 . 1 Until now, many photocatalysts, such as TiO 2 , 2 ZnO, 3 SnO 2 ( ref. 4 ) and ZrO 2 , 5 have been found and used in many fields.…”
