Boosting visible light photocatalytic and antibacterial performance by decoration of silver on magnetic spindle-like bismuth ferrite

Reusable BiFeO3 Nanofiber-Based Membranes for Photo-activated Organic Pollutant Removal with Negligible Colloidal Release

“…For comparison, other studies report dye degradation up to 15% in only 30 min due to adsorption− desorption equilibrium prior to any illumination. 31,32,43,45,59,60 For comparison, the same experiment is reported without the platinum layer in Figure S2. No RhB degradation is detected using our setup.…”

Visualizing the catalytic advancements in nickel ferrite via inclusion of bismuth for the removal of hazardous environmental pollutants

“…It was revealed that enhancement in the reaction rate occurred with an increase in the concentration of NiFe 2 O 4 from 0.25 to 0.50 g/L, whereas an increase in the concentration beyond 0.50 g/L resulted in the decrease in the reaction rate (Table ). The initial increment in the reaction rate could be due to the increment in the number of surface active sites of the catalyst, but subsequently, agglomeration of catalyst occurred that caused turbidity which resulted in lower absorption of light by dye solution (Jaffari et al , 2019). Thus, the optimal concentration of the catalyst was observed to be 0.50 g/L.…”

Super-hydrophobic and photocatalytic antimicrobial activity of iodine-doped ZnO nanoarray films

“…If the cell walls were disrupted, the protein of the bacteria would leak out into the solution. [20][21][22][23] In this study, the concentration of cell contents in the solution as the illumination time increases was tested. As shown in Fig.…”
