One-pot synthesis of an AgBr/ZnO hierarchical structure with enhanced photocatalytic capacity

Abstract

Hydrangea-like AgBr/ZnO photocatalysts with hierarchical structures and improved photocatalytic activity have been synthesized for the first time.

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

“…[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. [24][25][26][27] This inherent defect greatly limits their functional application.…”

Structural refinement and electrochemical properties of one dimensional (ZnO NRs)1−x(CNs)x functional hybrids for serotonin sensing studies

“…Figure 10 depicts the N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms of the bare ZnO NRs and representative ZCNT 0.1 and ZRGO 0.04 NCs. From the N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, all the samples exhibits the type IV isotherms due to the formation of multilayers and type H3 hysteresis loop 70 – 72 . The specific surface area of the desired bare ZnO NRs, and representative ZCNT 0.1 NCs and ZRGO 0.04 NCs was calculated by using BET method and the observed values are 16.699, 97.895 and 55.078 m 2 /g, respectively (Table S6 , SI).…”

A Template-Free Microwave Synthesis of One-Dimensional Cu2O Nanowires with Desired Photocatalytic Property

“…The role the reactive species plays in the photocatalytic process was explored by a trapping experiment. In the experiment, IPA, TEOA, and L-AA were used as typical scavengers of ·OH, h + and ·O 2 − , respectively [ 45 ]. As Figure 7 shows, the degradation rates of MO reduced from 73.0% to 64.6%, 9%, and 15%, respectively.…”

“…As Figure 7 shows, the degradation rates of MO reduced from 73.0% to 64.6%, 9%, and 15%, respectively. In conclusion, h + and ·O 2 − species made the biggest contributions to MO degradation [ 45 ]. This result provides us with an insight to improve the photocatalytic ability of the product by suppressing h + converting to ·OH.…”
