Ultrasound assisted synthesis of heterostructured TiO2/ZnFe2O4 and TiO2/ZnFe1.98La0.02O4 systems as tunable photocatalysts for efficient organic pollutants removal

Construction of a binary S-scheme S-g-C3N4/Co-ZF heterojunction with enhanced spatial charge separation for sunlight-driven photocatalytic performance

“…21–26 Light absorption, photocatalytic redox interactions with reactive radicals, and the separation and transport of the photogenerated electron–hole pair are generally the three key components of the photocatalytic process. 27–30…”

“…[21][22][23][24][25][26] Light absorption, photocatalytic redox interactions with reactive radicals, and the separation and transport of the photogenerated electron-hole pair are generally the three key components of the photocatalytic process. [27][28][29][30] Due to its distinctive qualities, such as environmental friendliness, affordability, a moderate working temperature, and high oxidation power, semiconductor-based photocatalysts have been extensively used to remove environmental contaminants from water. [31][32][33] It is a drawback because TiO 2 has a signicant bandgap (3.22 eV), which implies that only 4% of the solar spectrum is captured and the rest is lost.…”

Nanocrystalline structured ethylene glycol doped maghemite for persistent pollutants removal

“…Similar results have been also reported by other authors. 60,[62][63][64] The chemical and physical parameters of non-diluted wastewater effluent from the WWTP are presented in Table S3. †…”

Solution combustion synthesis: the relevant metrics for producing advanced and nanostructured photocatalysts

“…Hence, it is an advanced technique that can potentially address the agglomeration of SCS-derived crystallite products, a major limitation of SCS. The ultrasonication technology coupled with SCS technique is promising for the synthesis of binary, ternary and doped metal oxide nanoparticles [89,90] .…”
