Synthesis of mesoporous p-CuAl2O4/n-YVO4 heterojunction nanocomposites and their utilization as effective photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution

A novel CuAl2O4/MoS2/BaFe12O19 magnetic photocatalyst simultaneously coupling type I and Z-scheme heterojunctions for the sunlight-driven removal of tetracycline hydrochloride

“…25–28 Interestingly, the combination of other excellent semiconductor materials with CAO can greatly enhance the electron and hole transfer and separation efficiency of a system, thus enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the system. 29 Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 , MS) is considered a lamellar semiconductor material with high photocatalytic activity and a high optical absorption coefficient of visible light and is widely used to degrade dyes, antibiotics and other contaminants. 30–35 Therefore, CAO/MS composite photocatalysts coupled with CAO and MS are expected to exhibit high visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of antibiotics.…”
