The role of carbon-based nanosheets in enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Ag10Si4O13

In situ synthesis and properties of Ag/Ag10Si4O13/GO photocatalysts with synergistic effect of plasma Resonance and Schottky junction

“…Moreover, the effective unit cell of Ag 10 Si 4 O 13 is smaller than the metal, which has a greater propensity to generate photo-generated electrons from the surface to the interface for photodecomposition of dye molecule [22]. Currently, solid-phase synthesis (SPS) has been proposed for the synthesis of Ag 10 Si 4 O 13 with excellent photocatalytic activity and has been further developed [23][24][25]. However, the enhancement of purity and controllable modification of as-prepared Ag 10 Si 4 O 13 are relatively difficult due to ion diffusion in solid state.…”

[23][24][25] However, the enhancement of purity and controllable modification of the as-prepared Ag 10 Si 4 O 13 are relatively difficult due to ion diffusion in the solid state. In recent years, a high purity nanocrystalline preparation strategy based on the sol-gel process were proposed by our research group, which provided the possibility of atomic scale composition adjustment to further improve the degradation performance and stability of nano-Ag 10 Si 4 O 13 .…”

Photocatalytic activity enhancement of carbon‐doped g‐C3N4 by synthesis of nanocomposite with Ag2O and α‐Fe2O3

“…This indicates that the nanocomposite components chemically reacted, and the heterostructure was successfully formed. [17,33] FE-SEM analysis was applied to reveal the surface morphology of the prepared samples. Figure 2a shows an irregular pattern on the CGNS surface with a length of several micrometers and a thickness of a few nanometers.…”

“…It indicates that the CGNS was successfully synthesized. [30,33] The GF nanocomposite FE-SEM images are exhibited in Figure 2b. The uniformly distributed α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles on the CGNS surface were observed.…”
