Fabrication and characterization of Ag₃PO₄/TiO₂ heterostructure with improved visible-light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange and sterilization of E.coli

Colorimetric sensing of chlorpyrifos through negative feedback inhibition of the catalytic activity of silver phosphate oxygenase nanozymes

“…The vibration at 548 cm À1 is due to O]P-O group bending vibrations. 32 All the FT-IR vibration bands are tabulated in Table 1. The differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) curve shows the existence of a small endothermic peak at 334 C, which may be due to decomposition of the Ag 3 PO 4 NPs, as shown in Fig.…”

Titanium Dioxide-Based Photocatalysts for Degradation of Emerging Contaminants including Pharmaceutical Pollutants

“…To the group of photocatalytic nanomaterials that have been applied for the treatment of wastewater belong titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3 ), zinc oxide (ZnO), cupric oxide (CuO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Various forms of core-shell nanoparticles can be distinguished such as spherical, nanomatryushka, multiple cores in a single shell, hexagonal, and movable cores with hollow shells [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. However, other nanostructures have also been studied for these applications (i.e., silver halides, phosphates, metal sulfides (i.e., CdS), porphyrins (Pp), and their derivatives or carbonaceous materials like carbon nanotubes (CNT) and heteroatom doped graphene [62][63][64][65]).…”

Synthesis and photocatalytic properties of three dimensional laminated structure anatase TiO2/nano-Fe0 with exposed (001) facets

“…As we all know, in the research of photocatalytic degradation of dyes, the decolorization rate is usually used as the index of photocatalytic degradation activity. [65][66][67] However, the fading of dye only means that its chromophore is destroyed, rather than it is completely mineralized into H 2 O and CO 2 . In order to evaluate the degradation efficiency of photocatalysis strictly, we studied the relationship between the decolorization rate and COD Cr removal rate.…”
