A magnetically recyclable dual step-scheme Bi2WO6/Fe2O3/WO3 heterojunction for photodegradation of bisphenol-A from aqueous solution

Experimental and ab initio studies on the structural, magnetic, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles

“…8 Yet, its broader bandgap compared to TiO 2 makes ZnO less appealing for photocatalytic applications. [9][10][11][12] To circumvent this problem, researchers have doped ZnO with different metals such as Cr, Sm, Co, Cu, or Ag to improve the photocatalytic activity. 13,14 Among the promising dopants, Cu is preferred due to its advanced attributes such as low toxicity and abundance.…”

Unveiling the charge transfer behavior within ZSM-5 and carbon nitride composites for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

“… 9 Generating heterojunction in WO 3 , such as in Bi 2 WO 6 /Fe 2 O 3 /WO 3 S-scheme ternary system, will further enhance the performance toward bisphenol-A degradation due to the efficient charge carriers separation and its ability to maintain redox reaction. 10 Another material such as Cu 2− x Se microsheet was reported to be an efficient photocatalyst for rhodamine B degradation, showing a complete discoloration within 30 minutes due to the highly accessible active sites and wider light absorption ranges as a result of the narrower bandgap. 11 In terms of rhodamine B degradation, recently MoS 2 /tourmaline composite was also reported to have enhanced performance due to the increased dispersion of MoS 2 nanosheet on the tourmaline support, which exposed more active sites.…”

2D/2D Bi2WO6/Protonated g-C3N4 step-scheme heterojunctions for enhancing the photodegradation of 17β-estradiol: promotional role of electrostatic interaction

“…It is well known that the pH value of the solution has a great impact on photocatalytic reactions in practical wastewater applications. 49,50 In this work, the pH value of the initial E2 solution was 6.3. In order to investigate the pH effect on E2 degradation, the pH value was adjusted with 0.10 mol L −1 HCl and NaOH.…”
