Controllable synthesis of a 3D ZnS@MoO₃ heterojunction via a hydrothermal method towards efficient NO purification under visible light

Abstract

Heterojunctions can deliver superior photocatalytic efficiency via modulating the surface-interface reaction, enhancing light absorption and hindering charge carrier recombination.

Hydrothermal construction of WO3·0.33H2O/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with enhanced adsorption and photocatalytic activity

“…For g-C 3 N 4 , the photo-excited hole cannot generate ˙OH due to the lower VB position, and the observed ˙OH signal may be related to further reduction of ˙O 2 − . 11,42,43 For WG-4, both ˙O 2 − and ˙OH signals could be observed. Active species trapping experiments were also conducted to investigate the photocatalytic process, using isopropanol (IPA) as a ˙OH scavenger, ammonium oxalate (AO) as a h + scavenger and KBrO 3 as an e − scavenger.…”

Folic acid-functionalized l-cys/ZnS:O nanoparticles for homologous targeting and photodynamic therapy of tumor cells

“…Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a clinically approved treatment modality, refers to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) by photosensitizers (PSs) in the presence of oxygen and irradiation. [18][19][20][21] It has been observed many times that ZnS could produce ROS in catalytic experiments, [22][23][24] but there are few reports on biological applications. In fact, materials with high efficiency of ROS generation in catalysis experiments can also be used for PDT after being modified by biological groups.…”
