Photocatalytic reduction of -chloronitrobenzene on illuminated nano-titanium dioxide particles

Kinetic study of the 4-Nitrophenol photooxidation and photoreduction reactions using CdS

“…Therefore, the amount of 4-NP adsorbed onto CdS particles surface is limited by the initial high concentration of 4-AP adsorbed, thus causing an inhibition process and the decrease of the total yield. This effect has been extensively reported for the degradation process using TiO 2 as photocatalysts [23][24][25].…”

Understanding photocatalytic behavior on biomaterials: Insights from TiO2 concentration

“…Following the discovery of photocatalytic water splitting in the late 1960s [10][11][12], titanium dioxide has received tremendous attention scientifically and commercially [12][13][14][15][16][17] due to its impressive physical and chemical properties [10,17]. Since then, intensive research work has been conducted to optimize its fascinating photocatalytic properties by investigating different synthesis and application methods [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Photocatalytic activity of polymer-modified ZnO under visible light irradiation

“…Advantages of the photocatalytic process include its mild operating conditions and the fact that it can be powered by sunlight, thus reducing significantly the electric power required and therefore the operating costs. Scientists are investigating many semiconductors that can utilize visible light to degrade a high number of recalcitrant materials in aqueous system [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Among the semiconductors whose photocatalytic properties have been studied, TiO 2 is the most commonly used, because it is effective, stable, harmless, and inexpensive [7].…”
