Facile fabrication of Dy 2 Sn 2 O 7 -SnO 2 nanocomposites as an effective photocatalyst for degradation and removal of organic contaminants

Rational Fabrication of Hierarchical Z‐Scheme WO3/Bi2WO6 Nanotubes for Superior Photoelectrocatalytic Reaction

“…Obviously, the absorption edge of 550°C-WO 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 nanotubes exhibits a remarkable red shift, illustrating the enhanced light absorption capacity compared with those of other samples. The band gaps calculated via plot of (αhν) 2 are consistent with their n-type semiconductor features and the flat band potentials of Bi 2 WO 6 and WO 3 are determined at 0.4 and À 0.495 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. It is generally accepted that the conduction band (CB) potential of n-type semiconductor is very close to (about 0-0.2 V more negative) the flat band potentials.…”

“…In recent years, with the great advancement of science and technology, the energy shortage and environmental pollution have been the unavoidable presences, in which water pollution associated with industrial dyes has caused the serious ecological problems, [1][2][3][4][5] which maybe cause the diseases and death, and seriously affect the environment and humanity. [6][7][8][9][10] To address the urgent need for clean water and sustainable energy, alternative eco-friendly and economical energy technology should be high on the agenda.…”

Synthesis and characterization of new organic–inorganic nanohybrid film (TBA)PWFe/PVA/CTS as an efficient and reusable amphiphilic catalyst for ODS of real fuel

“…Additionally, the immobilization of POMs on polymer matrices allows the design of hybrid materials to provide both catalytic and reusability properties. In recent years, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CTS) composite has been studied and used for wide ranges of applications . The outstanding chemical stability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, non‐toxic, and adsorptive properties of PVA/CTS composite make it an ideal candidate for immobilization of POM clusters.…”

Synthesis of CoZnAl‐layered double hydroxide/graphene oxide nanocomposite for the removal of methylene blue: Kinetic, thermodynamic, and isotherm studies

“…Treatment of urban, industrial, and agricultural wastewater contaminated by various organic and inorganic pollutants is one of the main health priorities . So far, various chemical, biological, and physical methods, for example, adsorption, coagulation, photocatalytic degradation, and membrane filtration, have been used to remove organic pollutants, including dyes, from contaminated waters and wastewaters. Among these different methods, adsorption is considered as an optimal method for its economic efficiency, the simplicity of design, and convenient separation of the adsorbent .…”
