α-Fe2O3 nanoclusters confined into UiO-66 for efficient visible-light photodegradation performance

Z‐Scheme In2S3/NU‐1000 Heterojunction for Boosting Photo‐Oxidation of Sulfide into Sulfoxide under Ambient Conditions

“…The Zr 3d spectra (Figure 5b) of In 2 S 3 /NU‐1000‐3 with two peaks at 182.8 eV (Zr 3d 5/2 ) and 185.2 eV (Zr 3d 3/2 ) assert the existence of Zr 4+ [42] . The binding energies of 531.6 eV and 532.6 eV in the O 1s spectra (Figure 5c) are attributed to the oxygen in the zirconium oxide clusters and surface hydroxyl/ether groups [43] . Noteworthy, compared with pure NU‐1000, the O 1s and Zr 3d peaks of In 2 S 3 /NU‐1000‐X are shift towards the negative direction.…”

Room‐Temperature Photocatalytic Decomposition of N2O over Nanobelt‐Like Bi2MoO6

“…It increases in the following order: BM‐150 < BM‐160 < BM‐170 < BM‐180 < BM‐150, And BET surface decreases in this order: BM‐150 > BM‐160 > BM‐170 > BM‐140 > BM‐180. It has been widely accepted that the large surface area and small grain size are beneficial for contact between N 2 O and the active sites on the surface of the photocatalyst, and thereafter promoting the photocatalytic activity …”

Preparation of LDO@TiO2 core–shell nanosheets for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollution

“…Photodegradation is a promising technology to remove the organic pollutants from wastewater, which can directly utilize solar energy to mineralize pollutants (e.g., dyes, antibiotics and aromatic compounds) into CO 2 and H 2 O [1−5]. Photocatalysts play a key role in the photodegradation process, and many semiconductors (e.g., TiO 2 [6], α-Fe 2 O 3 [7], WO 3 [8] and BiVO 4 [9]) have been studied as photocatalyst for photodegradation. Because of the excellent stability and catalytic activity, TiO 2 is expected to be one of the promising photocatalysts.…”
