Sequential impregnation and sol-gel synthesis of Fe-ZnO over hydrophobic silica aerogel as a floating photocatalyst with highly enhanced photodecomposition of BTX compounds from water

Visible light-activated photocatalytic activity of TiO2–crystal violet based superhydrophobic paint against VOCs in indoor air

“…27 In another study, the authors observed similar results when the decomposition of VOCs increase up to a certain point and then decreased. 28 They suggested that VOCs can also contaminate the active sites on the hydrophobic surfaces of the photocatalysts. This contamination can lead to a downward trend in photocatalytic performance.…”

Synthesis and Photocatalysis of Metal Oxide Aerogels: A Review

“…The sample showed better activity toward benzene, toluene, and xylene photodegradation compared to its counterpart prepared by the conventional impregnation method. 185 illustrates the interface of the aerogel and water. 168 The aerogel can absorb light at the solid−gas interface, while the air between the aerogel and the liquid offers oxygen to the reaction.…”

“…Najafidoust et al have synthesized Fe-ZnO in a hydrophobic SiO 2 aerogel, which was modified by trimethylchlorosilane to offer −CH 3 groups. The sample showed better activity toward benzene, toluene, and xylene photodegradation compared to its counterpart prepared by the conventional impregnation method . Djellabi et al have prepared a series of different semiconductor oxides (MoO 3 , Bi 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , and WO 3 )/polymer composite aerogels.…”

Evaluation of cytotoxicity, loading, and release activity of paclitaxel loaded-porphyrin based metal-organic framework (PCN-600)

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) gained lots of interest in recent years in many fields of medicine specially in diagnosis and treatment of cancers [ 22 , 23 ]. MOFs are included among the varying drug carriers used in modern pharmaceutical systems, which are known as the hybrids of porous organic-mineral materials that are consisted of metal moieties and organic linkers with self-aggregating abilities [ 21 , 24 , 25 ]. The pore size of these porous materials is completely dependent on the size and length of linkers.…”
