Wavelength dependent photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of heterojunction materials: The case of CuO/ZnO

A hydrangea-like nitrogen-doped ZnO/BiOI nanocomposite for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride

“…27,28 Nevertheless, ZnO, as a wide bandgap semiconductor (∼3.20 eV), has a narrow photoresponse range and responds mainly to UV light, which limits its application. [29][30][31] To overcome this limitation, some researchers found that carbon materials could promote photoelectronic transformation because their excellent electron conductivity can facilitate the efficient utilization of spatial charge carriers. 21,32,33 Meanwhile, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a porous substance created by the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters and organic linkers, have attracted a lot of interest in a number of domains, including photocatalysis.…”
