Nano sized ZnO composites: Preparation, characterization and application as photocatalysts for degradation of AB92 azo dye

Comparative studies on Ag3PO4/BiPO4–metal-organic framework–graphene-based nanocomposites for photocatalysis application

“…The photocatalytic reactions highly occur on the catalyst surface. Hence, surface area, separation and transfer of e − /h + pairs are the most important factors in both rate and efficiency of the photocatalysts [6,27].…”

“…At low initial concentration of Atrazine herbicide, the L-H kinetics model is well established for the heterogeneous photocatalytic reaction [6]. Hence, the above equation is reduced to Eq.…”

“…Therefore, the progression of cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways for the removal of toxic materials from both ground and underground water is recognized as one of the most intended goals and an arduous challenge. Within the past decades, advances in the semiconductor heterogeneous photocatalysts have attracted much more attention concentrated on the viewpoint of environmental pollution accountability [4][5][6].…”

Ag2CO3 sensitized TiO2 nanoparticles prepared in ionic liquid medium: A new Ag2CO3/TiO2/RTIL heterostructure with highly efficient photocatalytic activity

“…Additionally, the photocatalytic degradation kinetic was investigated; the linear simulation of AB92 degradation can be accounted for by a pseudo first-order model, called the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) kinetics model [1,23].…”

“…Since the conventional methods are not efficient enough to decontaminate pollutants completely, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are widely used. Within the past decades, semiconductor heterogeneous photocatalysts which utilize solar energy count as a common example of AOPs [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
