Enhanced photocatalytic performance of sphere-like AgCl/ rGO catalysts under simulated and natural sunlight irradiation

Designing effective and stable S‐scheme RGO/AgVO3/AgBr hybrid with enhanced photocatalytic performance

“…There is no doubt that dyes have promoted our livelihood to be more rich and colorful, while it also brings some environmental troubles in our life. [1][2][3] According to the statistic, there are more than 7 × 10 5 tons of dyes that have been discharged into water every year, resulting in a larger number of dye wastewater, which is a huge stumbling block to the protection and the development of environment. Normally, dye wastewater mainly contains various toxic heavy metal elements and organic compounds, which could reduce the transparency of water, resulting in severe visual pollution and eutrophication of the water.…”

“…In recent years, due to the increase in population and the improvement of life quality, dyes have been widely applied to various kinds of industrial production, such as textile, leather, metals, and food, which exerts an important role in people's life. There is no doubt that dyes have promoted our livelihood to be more rich and colorful, while it also brings some environmental troubles in our life 1‐3 .
