Surfactant mediated synthesis of spherical binary oxides photocatalytic with enhanced activity in visible light

Plasmonic photocatalytic system using silver chloride/silver nanostructures under visible light

“…Among versatile catalysts, photocatalyst [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] has been paid a great attention due to fascinating properties such as photoelectrochemical solar-energy conversion. The photocatalytic materials could be applied for the potential fields including water splitting, self-cleaning surface, and decomposition of organic pollutants.…”

Investigation of multielemental catalysts based on decreasing the band gap of titania for enhanced visible light photocatalysis

“…And its achievement will have a great impact on society [1][2][3][4]. Among the materials that can be developed for photocatalytic applications, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) remains the most promising material due to its high efficiency, low cost, chemical inertness, and photostability [5][6][7][8]. TiO 2 represents an effective photocatalyst for water and air purification with self-cleaning surfaces.…”

Simultaneous photoreductive removal of copper (II) and selenium (IV) under visible light over spherical binary oxide photocatalyst

“…So for better application there is a need to develop visible light sensitive photocatalyst with high surface area and stable anatase phase even after calcination at higher temperature. In this context our earlier work on the formation of high surface area spherical titania based materials with increased photoreduction activity even under visible light is encouraging [29,30]. Therefore, present study is focused on the effect of different photocatalysts on visible light induced simultaneous photocatalytic removal of toxic metals like copper and selenium from acidic wastewater.…”
