Preparation of Zn0.5Cd0.5S/nickel acetate hydroxide composite for ameliorated water splitting performance under visible light

Preparation of BiOCl0.9I0.1/β-Bi2O3 composite for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under simulated sunlight

“…The bandgap of BiOCl0.9I0.1/x%β-Bi2O3 was estimated, as shown in Fig. 3(c), and the BiOCl0.9I0.1/15%β-Bi2O3 composite exhibited a narrow bandgap of 2.31 eV compared to 2.90 eV for β-Bi2O3 and 2.84 eV for BiOCl0.9I0.1, suggesting a more efficient light absorption [34]. The lower bandgap promoted the photon excitation from its VB to its CB, thereby effectively accelerating the migration process of the photogenerated carriers and greatly promoting the photocatalytic activity.…”

Prism-like bimetallic (Ni–Co) alkaline carboxylate-based non-enzymatic sensor capable of exceptionally high catalytic activity towards glucose

“…19 Wang et al synthesized a Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/nickel acetate hydroxide (NiAH) photocatalyst with an ameliorated water splitting performance, which was ascribed to an increased specific surface area. 20 However, the application of the metal acetate hydroxides in nonenzymatic glucose sensors has been rarely reported. More importantly, the morphologies, compositions and shape of nanomaterials are very meaningful for enhancing the biosensing performance.…”

Zn Cd1–S quantum dot with enhanced photocatalytic H2-production performance

“…However, CdS suffers from severe photocorrosion, low separation, and low transfer efficiency of photogenerated carriers [22], which limit its extensive practical applications. To enhance the photocatalytic H2-production performance of the CdS photocatalyst, several strategies have been investigated, such as surface modification [23], heterojunction construction [24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and cocatalyst addition [21,[31][32][33][34][35]. However, the current photocatalytic H2-production performance of CdS is still unsatisfactory.…”
