Nanosized ZnO Under Solvent Free Condition: A Smart and Ecofriendly Catalyst to Microwave Assisted Synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)- ones/Thiones

Stabilized fabrication of anatase-TiO2/FeS2 (pyrite) semiconductor composite nanocrystals for enhanced solar light-mediated photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue

“…4 Among the semiconductor photocatalysts, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanocrystals are a highly efficient photocatalyst and have been the leading conventional substance for degrading natural impurities. 5,6 Augmenting to its non-toxicity, abundance, and moderately little cost, TiO 2 also demonstrates excellent photocatalytic activity in numerous degradation responses. To develop the consumption of solar energy, many investigative attempts have focused on exploring the photocatalytic hydrogen generating potential of TiO 2 in the visible spectrum (l > 400 nm) which accounts for $42% of solar power.…”

AlCl3@ZnO nanostructured material: an efficient green catalyst for the one-pot solvent-free synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines

“…To overcome the recyclability of catalysts and environmental issues, the reactions were performed by biodegradable catalysis 31 and heterogeneous catalysis using clay, 32 ZnO, 33 Cu–ZnO, 34 CaO, 35 N-doped TiO 2 , 36 V 2 O 5 /ZrO 2 , 37 Fe 3 O 4 38 or CuO/rGO. 39 The comparative features of organic transformations with respect to catalytic conditions are given in Table 1.…”
