Super-hydrophobic and photocatalytic antimicrobial activity of iodine-doped ZnO nanoarray films

Abstract

Iodine (I) doped ZnO nanoarray film (ZnO/ I-X) were prepared on silicon wafer by the in-situ growth method. The structure and morphology of the samples have been test by XRD,...

Facile Preparation of the ZnSe/Ag2Se Binary Heterojunction for Photocatalytic Antibacterial Efficiency

“…The disinfection efficiency of 15% ZA is five times and four times greater than first-order kinetic pattern. 39,40 The kinetic constant (k) of 15% ZA for the photocatalytic eradication of E. coli and S. aureus is 0.18 log10cfu•mL −1 min −1 and 0.11 log10cfu•mL −1 •min −1 , respectively. As shown in Figure S4, the minimum photocatalytic antibacterial concentration of 15% ZA is 0.0100 g/L.…”

Enhancement of Charge Separation and NIR Light Harvesting through Construction of 2D–2D Bi4O5I2/BiOBr:Yb3+, Er3+ Z‐Scheme Heterojunctions for Improved Full‐Spectrum Photocatalytic Performance

“…Photocatalytic technology is a promising route for the development and utilization of solar energy, and it is regarded as a winwin strategy for addressing environmental pollution and the energy crisis. [1][2][3][4][5] In practical applications, the maximum utilization of the full solar spectrum is crucial for improving the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts. However, most semiconductor photocatalysts are only active under ultraviolet (UV) light and some of the visible (Vis) light spectrum.…”
