Simultaneous photocatalysis and adsorption based removal of inorganic and organic impurities from water by titania/activated carbon/carbonized epoxy nanocomposite

Growth and Photocatalytic Properties of Gallium Oxide Films Using Chemical Bath Deposition

“…Environmental protection, especially against water pollution, has generated public interest in recent years, and the application of nanotechnology in this field has become a hot topic. Photocatalysis using natural sunlight as a clean energy source, has been extensively studied for environmental remediation since its discovery [1][2][3][4]. Methylene blue (MB), a common dye, has been widely used for the commercial products such as the dyeing paper, linen, silk fabric, bamboo, wood, etc.…”

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Photocatalytic Property of β-Ga2O3 Nanorods

“…In recent years, various fabrication methods of photocatalytic products have been developed for the photodegradation of organic and inorganic pollutants in the environment [ 1 , 2 ]. Particularly, inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials have been considered to be promising for photocatalyst applications because they provide good physical and chemical properties with large surface area, and a variety of morphologies, such as nanorods, cubes, spheres, and flowers, could be achieved by the chemical synthesis [ 3 – 8 ].…”

The effect of graphitized carbon on the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue over TiO2/C composites

“…17,18 Thus, the combination of some adsorbents and TiO 2 nanoparticles has attracted much attention for enhancing photocatalytic activity in the degradation of organic contaminants. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] TiO 2 composites obtained by adding a co-adsorbent, doping, or depositing on other material are helpful for solving these problems. Supporting the TiO 2 nanoparticles on adsorbents such as activated carbon, 19 clay minerals 21,22 and calcium silicate 23 is not only benecial for improving the efficiency of photocatalysis, but also favors the separation and recovery of these catalysts from aqueous solution.…”
