Abstract:Tribocatalysis is a promising environmental remediation technique that utilizes the triboelectric effect, produced when dissimilar materials interact through friction, to generate charges promoting catalytic reactions. In this work, the tribocatalytic degradation of an organic dye—Rhodamine B (RhB)—has been experimentally realized using pure and 2 mol.% La-modified/ZnO powders, synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. The effects of annealing on the tribocatalytic activity of the La/ZnO catalysts are also… Show more
