Cu2O/TiO2 heterostructured hollow sphere with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

Multilayered MoS2 coated TiO2 hollow spheres for efficient photodegradation of phenol under visible light irradiation

“…The shell displayed two types of clear lattice fringes. The fringes spacing of 0.35 nm is corresponding to the (101) plane of the anatase TiO 2 [16]. On the other hand, the spacing of a few layer MoS 2 sheets was observed and measured as 0.75 nm, which is in accordance with the reported value [8].…”

“…As shown in Fig. 4c, the TM9 heterostructure exhibits higher photocurrent density than that of pure TiO 2 and MoS 2 , indicating the heterostructure is much more beneficial to promote effective charges transfer and easy electrons collection [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Cycling result in photodecomposition of phenol using TM9 photocatalyst is shown in Fig.…”

Fabrication and property evaluation of WO3 particles dispersed Al-based composite material

“…Photocatalytisis has been attracted and a lot of researches have done because photocatalysis is expected to resolve this environment pollution problems due to ability of decomposition for organic pollution by light irradiation. TiO2 is the most widely used as photocatalysis because of its application for environmental purification [5,6]. However, the band gap of TiO2 about 3.2eV limits its application only in ultraviolet region [7].…”

Dynamic photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to CO in a honeycomb monolith reactor loaded with Cu and N doped TiO 2 nanocatalysts

“…Incorporating Cu-metal ions (Cu o , Cu + , Cu 2+ ) into TiO 2 could lead to stimulate electron transfer between metal/semiconductor junction to improve photoactivity [20]. In addition, copper has low price, non-toxicity, environmental acceptability and good photoactivity [21].…”
