Facile preparation of CuBi2O4/TiO2 hetero-systems employed for simulated solar-light selective oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol model compound

“…2c) indicating that the structure of this latter was not modified during the formation of the hetero-system with the CuBi2O4 spinel by ball milling treatment at 150 Rpm. Moreover, no CBO characteristic peaks were identified, due to the low CBO loading in the coupled system and the mild preparation conditions [31,32]. On the contrary, small differences with respect to bare TiO2 can be noticed in the diffractogram of the 4%CBO/TiO2 sample prepared at 300 Rpm, probably for the increase in temperature that occurs at the higher rotation speed during ball milling.…”

Enhanced photoactive performance of three-layer structured Ag/Cu2O/TiO2 composites with tunable crystal microstructures

“…It has been shown that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) photosensitization caused by noble metal particles can be utilized to harvest visible light; moreover, the formation of a Schottky barrier at the metal/semiconductor interface is proved to be beneficial to the separation of electron-hole pairs. 15 Ag particles are widely used as a decoration substance because of their lower cost and facile preparation approaches in comparison with other noble metals. [16][17][18] Integration of Ag particles with semiconductors can improve the photoactive performance.…”
