Ag3PO4-Deposited TiO2@Ti3C2 Petals for Highly Efficient Photodecomposition of Various Organic Dyes under Solar Light

“…The XRD data of Ag 3 PO 4 revealed sharp and narrow dominant peaks at 33.3° (210) and 36.6° (211), which corresponded to the body-centered crystal structure and high crystallinity (JCPDS no. 06-0505) [ 25 ]. Furthermore, TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 exhibited a distinct peak at 2θ = 25.3°, indicating the high crystallinity of the anatase phase with other weaker peaks at 37.8°, 53.9°, 55.34°, and 62.6° (JCPDS card No.…”

“…Additionally, Ag 3 PO 4 in the composites can shorten the diffusion paths for photoexcited carriers, thereby, inhibiting the recombination of electron-hole pairs [4,25]. The photocatalytic activity of the optimized sample was compared to that of other reported similar photocatalysts.…”

From design to characterization of zirconium nitride/silicon nitride nanocomposites

“…Among the different types of materials with high potential in energy-related fields, advanced ceramics -inorganic and non-metallic solids that represent an "advancement" over traditional ceramics (e.g., porcelain) -exhibit unique and/or superior functional attributes that can be "precisely specified" by careful synthesis, processing and quality control. Because of the attention to microstructural design and the large possibilities of element combination which are known to enhance performance and to generate new physical phenomena, ceramics prepared at nanoscale, i.e., nanoceramics [2], represent high value-added products that recently demonstrated attractivities in the energy fields [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Such nanoceramics can represent also a nanoscaled component of composite materials to form nanocomposites with completely novel property combinations, owing to the synergetic effects between the different components.…”

Application of zinc oxide for decomposition of organic compounds

“…В последние годы значительно возросло использование органических красителей в различных отраслях промышленности, таких как кожевенная, бумажная, пластиковая, текстильная, пищевая, полиграфическая, косметическая, фармацевтическая и др. [1,2]. Красители, содержащиеся в сточных водах, могут отрицательно влиять на водную среду из-за уменьшения проникновения солнечного света, угрожать здоровью человека [3].…”
