Rational design of ZnO-zeolite imidazole hybrid nanoparticles with reduced charge recombination for enhanced photocatalysis

Synergistic surface modulation of Ag/ZnO@ZIF-8 hybrid microspheres for enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiency of rhodamine B

“…The high specific surface area and number of micropores are favourable for improving the permeability of the RhB solution, which is conducive to the generation of more active sites to produce more photoexcited carriers during photocatalytic reactions. 37 Fig. 1 XRD patterns of each sample.…”

Boosting N2 photoreduction using a ZnO@HCuxS composite with high activity and easy recovery grown on a copper mesh

“…25,26 Zinc oxide (ZnO) is widely used in the field of photocatalysis due to its wide band gap (B3.34 eV), high excitation binding energy and charge mobility, non-toxicity and chemical stability. [27][28][29] The combination of Cu x S and ZnO semiconductors with energy band matching can develop p-n heterojunctions to form an internal electric field. Driven by the internal electric field, the photogenerated electrons and holes migrate to the conduction band (CB) of the n-type semiconductor and the valence band (VB) of the p-type semiconductor, respectively, to promote the separation and migration of charges, thus achieving excellent photocatalytic performance.…”

Piezoelectric-Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance of BaTi2O5 Nanorods for Degradation of Organic Pollutants

“…However, the photocatalytic treatment of wastewater is hampered by excessively high photogenerated electron and hole complexation rates, which means that the quantum efficiencies of photocatalysts are far below their ideal values. This has seriously hindered the improvement of photocatalytic efficiency . Numerous methods for enhancing the separation of photogenerated carriers have been reported, including ion doping, the construction of heterojunctions, noble metal deposition, and nanostructure design .…”
