Facile green synthesis of a dahlia-like anatase/TiO2(B) phase junction for boosting the photocatalytic degradation of persistent tetracycline

“…3c can be deconvoluted into three peaks located at 530.3, 531.9 and 533.4 eV belonging to Ti–O, surface oxygen vacancies and chemisorbed oxygen, respectively. 27,28…”

“…3c can be deconvoluted into three peaks located at 530.3, 531.9 and 533.4 eV belonging to Ti-O, surface oxygen vacancies and chemisorbed oxygen, respectively. 27,28 The light-absorbing capacity of the synthesized DABTO, anatase and TiO 2 (B) was tested by UV-DRS and their spectra are shown in Fig. 3d.…”

Controlled Ni doping on a g-C3N4/CuWO4 photocatalyst for improved hydrogen evolution

“…22,23 Very recently, CuWO 4 as a confined band gap semiconductor material (2.5 eV) has received immense research interest because of its applications in many photocatalytic reactions. [24][25][26] Additionally, the suitable valence edge position of CuWO 4 makes this material a more efficient photocatalyst for H 2 O splitting. Valenti et al theoretically proved that CuWO 4 can convert about 13% of solar energy into hydrogen fuel.…”

Unveiling the influence of Fe2O3 nanoparticles on CuxO–TiO2(B) nanofibers for dual Z-scheme electron transfer visible light photocatalysts: investigation on local atomic structures and electronic properties

“…[8][9][10][11][12] Among these materials, cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O), a p-type semiconductor, has attracted attention because of its favorable visible light absorption, potential energy band structure and earth-abundant nature; conversely, the photocatalytic ability of Cu 2 O remains a significant concern as it is susceptible to photocorrosion. [13][14][15] Despite this, the redox nature of Cu x O has yet to be exploited for photocatalysis, as it can be regulated by modifying the reaction conditions during synthesis. Meanwhile, it can be envisaged that coupling n-type TiO 2 with p-type Cu 2 O can enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of a constructed p-n heterojunction photocatalyst while avoiding Cu 2 O photocorrosion.…”
