Photoconversion of 4-nitrophenol in the presence of hydrazine with AgNPs-TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by the sol–gel method

Synthesis of Ag ion-implanted TiO2 thin films for antibacterial application and photocatalytic performance

“…Various methods, such as aqueous reduction, photochemical, liquid phase deposition, and sol-gel, can be applied to synthesize Ag/TiO 2 composites [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Although the properties of TiO 2 are severely limited by the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, combining silver with TiO 2 at nano-scale level can promote the separation of the electron-hole pairs generated upon irradiation, which is due to the fact that the work function of silver is greater than that of the TiO 2 .…”

Glutaraldehyde assisted synthesis of collagen derivative modified Fe 3+ /TiO 2 nanocomposite and their enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t electron trapping ability and distinct price advantage; in this case, majority of the study reports have presented lots of quite satisfactory findings [33][34][35][36][37]. For instance, a relevant result found by L. Gomathi Devi et al [38] clearly indicated that the only 0.05 percent loading sliver on the surface of TiO 2 grains could dramatically enlarge the applied range of light into the visible region and further considerably maximize the photocatalytic performance for the oxidative degradation of phenol.…”

Highly Efficient Photo‐Reduction of p‐Nitrophenol by Protonated Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanosheets

“…On the other hand, to improve the photocatalytic behavior of PNP reduction, the competitive oxidation reaction of PNP by photo‐generated holes must be suppressed. In general, reactants, such as NaBH 4 , Na 2 SO 3 and hydrazine, are used as scavengers to quench holes …”
