Knowledge of the incidence and distribution of inflammatory responses can help clinicians understand orbital disorders, and establish standard protocols for appropriate treatments, including those conditions that warrant immediate attention 1 . The orbital compartment contains a variety of tissues arranged in a fashion reminiscent of Pandora’s box. These tissues can be independently involved in a plethora of disorders which can impose a number of sight-threatening risks. Many prior studies of these matters have laid a foundation for understanding the approximate incidence of various orbital pathologies 1-15
Development of heterostructures is one of the constructive strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic activity. Here, novel CuFeO 2 -ZnO heterostructures with different weight percentage (CuFeO 2 = 0.5, 1, 5, 10%) were prepared by two-step precipitation-hydrothermal process. The structural confirmation was done by XRD and Raman analysis. The photocatalytic efficiency of the heterostructures was assessed by the degradation of methylene blue under sunlight. CuFeO 2 -ZnO heterostructures enhanced the photocatalytic performance compared to pure ZnO and CuFeO 2 . Among all, 5 wt % of CuFeO 2 on ZnO exhibited 100% degradation with 16 fold faster kinetics than ZnO. Time-resolved photoluminescent analysis revealed the increase in lifetime of charge carriers in the heterostructure. The band alignments of ZnO and CuFeO 2 , evaluated by Mott–Schottky revealed the existence of Type 1 heterostructures. Further, the heterostructures exhibited good recyclability. Thus, the present work demonstrates the use of p-type CuFeO 2 and n-type ZnO heterostructures as potential photocatalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
