Application of Zn2SnO4 photocatalyst prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal route in the degradation of organic pollutant under sunlight

Direct microwave–hydrothermal synthesis of Fe-doped titania with extended visible-light response and enhanced H2-production performance

“…Over the past few years, microwave synthesis technology has emerged as an attractive method for synthesizing semiconductor photocatalysts [28,29]. Using the microwave-hydrothermal method, catalysts can be synthesized simply and rapidly within a period of 30-60 min [30].…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of flower cluster-shaped ZnO microstructures with sodium lignosulfonate as structure-directing agent

“…Figure 4 shows the N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm experiment of the asprepared ZnO samples. According to the Brunauer-Deming-Deming-Teller (BDDT) classification, the isotherms are of type IV with type H3 hysteresis loop, suggesting the [26,27]. The average pore diameter and specific surface areas of theZnO-SL and ZnO are 3.81 nm, 38.98 m 2 g -1 and 12.49 nm, 12.05 m 2 g -1 , respectively.…”

Photocatalytic activity of zinc stannate: Preparation and modeling

“…Zinc stannate, also called zinc-tin oxide (ZTO), is an n-type transparent semiconductor material with a band gap energy of 3.6 eV, a typical inverse spinel structure and high electron mobility which make it suitable for wide range of potential applications, including gas sensing material [1,2], anode materials for batteries [3] adsorbent [4] and photocatalyst [5][6][7][8][9] for dye removal.…”
