SnO2@ZnS photocatalyst with enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of selected pharmaceuticals and personal care products in model wastewater

The Influence of Photoactive Heterostructures on the Photocatalytic Removal of Dyes and Pharmaceutical Active Compounds: A Mini-Review

“…The photocatalytic activity of type II heterostructure (UiO-66/CdIn 2 S 4 [ 101 ]), p-n heterostructures (SnO 2 @ZnS [ 102 ]) and Schottky heterojunction (Ag/BiVO 4 /rGO [ 103 ]) was tested in 10 mg/L TCS solution. The optimum energy consumption corresponds to UiO-66/CdIn 2 S 4 , able to reach 92% photocatalytic efficiency after 180 min of irradiation with 150 W Vis light source.…”

Antimicrobial and electrical properties of ce‐ and ni‐doped zns nanoparticles obtained by a sonochemical method

“…[4][5][6] Among these materials, ZnS stands out for being stable, nontoxic, and still absorb UV radiation. 7 Saroja et al 8 showed that Mn-doped ZnS thin films have a larger antimicrobial capacity, compared to pure ZnS because of the formation of defects in the crystalline lattice. ZnS is a polymorphic material, having cubic (sphalerite) and hexagonal (wurtzite) phases, being the cubic form more stable.…”

“…The antimicrobial capacity has been studied in several semiconductor materials, which include oxides and sulfides 4‐6 . Among these materials, ZnS stands out for being stable, non‐toxic, and still absorb UV radiation 7 . Saroja et al 8 .…”

Noble‐metal‐free MOF Derived ZnS/CeO2 Decorated with CuS Cocatalyst Photocatalyst with Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production Character

“…ZnS has been used to photocatalytic treatment wastewater which makes the difficult to oxidize and hydrolyze pollutants produce the nontoxic products easily. [9][10][11][12] Compared with ZnO, ZnS has the stronger redox capacity which makes H + more likely bond with electrons to form H 2 . But, ZnO has the more abundant morphologies than ZnS.…”

“…Among the reported photocatalysts until now, ZnS exhibits the excellent transmission properties, high electron mobility, non‐toxicity, water insolubility and relative inexpensive which has been considered as an important photocatalyst for water photolysis and wastewater treatment. ZnS has been used to photocatalytic treatment wastewater which makes the difficult to oxidize and hydrolyze pollutants produce the nontoxic products easily [9–12] . Compared with ZnO, ZnS has the stronger redox capacity which makes H + more likely bond with electrons to form H 2 .…”
