Design and structural of Sm-doped SbFeO3 nanopowders and immobilized on poly(ethylene oxide) for efficient photocatalysis and hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation

A deeper insight into the evaluation of water-in-oil amicroemulsion templated samarium sulfide nanospheres: exploring its role in pickering emulsion formulation for photocatalytic dye degradation and synthesis of PANI@Sm2S3 nanocomposites

“…8 that with increasing CTAB concentration, the Pickering emulsion started to get sufficient stability over a long period; therefore, dye molecules are efficiently encapsulated within the core of the emulsion droplets and the local concentration of the dye is increased. 50,[52][53][54][55] Consequently, dye molecules get a sufficient chance to interact with the photocatalyst and participate in effective photocatalytic degradation under sunlight exposure. 21,50,52 The effect of initial CV concentration on photocatalytic degradation was also examined at a xed concentration of Sm 2 S 3 (0.1 wt%) and CTAB (2.7 mM) and is represented in Fig.…”

Fabrication of Cr2O3 Nanoparticles Using Okra Plant Extract for Antimicrobial Activity

“…The inhibitory zone diameter was measured after the test samples were incubated at 25 °C for 24 hours. The antibacterial activity of Chromium oxide NPs produced using maize extracts utilizing a simple chemical approach (oxidation and reduction processes) was investigated [21][22]. The efficacy of antibacterial activity in terms inhibition of zones (mm) was measured against four stander \ grampositive and gram negative bacterial isolates.…”

Development of a standard evaluation method for microbial UV sensitivity using light-emitting diodes

“…Photocatalysis is an inactivation method that utilizes a chemical reaction when a catalyst is combined with visible or UV light, and has advantages in terms of cost, chemical stability, and environmental friendliness. Photocatalysts are being actively researched mainly in the field of water disinfection because they can decompose contaminants as well as inactivate microorganisms in water [ [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] ]. On the other hand, UV inactivation, which inactivates microorganisms with UV light itself, is attracting attention in a wide range of fields, including not only water but also human living spaces and foods, because it does not produce any residue after inactivation and does not alter the quality of the object.…”
