Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical studies of visible-light active α-Fe₂O₃–g-C₃N₄ nanocomposites

Abstract

Synergistic enhancement in photocatalytic degradation of α-Fe2O3–g-C3N4 due to an increase in visible-light absorption efficiency and rapid photoinduced charge separation.

Mn-doping and NiFe layered double hydroxide coating: Effective approaches to enhancing the performance of α-Fe2O3 in photoelectrochemical water oxidation

“…Morphological manipulation [23][24][25], foreign element doping [26][27][28], and constructing heterojunctions [29][30][31][32] have been reported to enhance charge separation efficiency. IrO 2 and RuO 2 are the most active OER catalysts used to improve the oxygen evolution kinetics [3], but the high cost limits their extensive use.…”

A Facile Synthesis of Visible-Light Driven Rod-on-Rod like α-FeOOH/α-AgVO3 Nanocomposite as Greatly Enhanced Photocatalyst for Degradation of Rhodamine B

“…In order to resolve these issues, it is a very necessary action to eradicate these organic pollutants from wastewater. Several techniques such as adsorption [8], sonolysis [9], oxidation [10], (photo)-Fenton process [11], photocatalytic degradation [12,13] and ozonation [14] have been adapted for the eradication of organic effluents from waste-water. Among them, the semiconductor-based photocatalysis technique has received considerable attention owing to its low-cost, high photostability and eco-friendly nature towards the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants via freely available solar energy [15][16][17].…”

Efficient and stable ZrO2/Fe modified hollow-C3N4 for photodegradation of the herbicide MTSM

“…14,15 Different metal oxides, when combined with g-C 3 N 4 , can enhance electron-hole (e À /h + ) separation by increasing the absorption in the visible region. [16][17][18] g-C 3 N 4 also has disadvantages, such as a small surface area and mild quantum efficiency, 19,20 both of which are indicators of low photo-catalytic activity. Therefore, more research is needed to study the enhancement of g-C 3 N 4 photo-catalytic activity.…”
