Monodisperse raspberry-like multihollow polymer/Ag nanocomposite microspheres for rapid catalytic degradation of methylene blue

Preparation of Polyacrylate Hollow Microspheres via Facile Spray Drying

“…Polymer hollow microspheres are mainly prepared via three approaches: self-assembly, template assisted synthesis, and emulsion polymerization [12][13][14][15]. Self-assembly and template assisted synthesis are demanding on reaction system and processing procedures, while emulsion polymerization is more industry-friendly and scalable.…”

Preparation of triangular silver nanoplates by silver seeds capped with citrate-CTA+

“…Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), a versatile nanomaterial, have attracted a great deal of attention largely owing to their remarkable physical, chemical, biological properties, e.g., photo-thermal effect, 1 electronic properties, 2 catalytic properties, [3][4][5][6] anti-cancer and anti-bacterial properties, 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] as well as antifungal effects. 16 In recent years, the chemical synthesis of AgNPs mostly focused on the uniformity of morphologies and sizes because these two parameters can affect intrinsic properties of AgNPs, [17][18][19] such as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), metalenhanced uorescence, and catalytic activity.…”

Effect of pH on visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of facile synthesized bismuth vanadate nanoparticles

“…Photocatalytic water splitting and dye degradation under the visible-light solar spectrum is a promising approach to address environmental threats on a global scale. This, in turn, interested the researchers to develop facile visible-light-driven photocatalysts for the photodegradation of organic pollutants that are being continuously released from the food and textile industries [1][2][3][4][5]. In recent times, visible-light-responsive photocatalysts paved the way for the utilization of visible-light in the solar spectrum.…”
