Facile synthesis of an Ag@AgBr nanoparticle-decorated K4Nb6O17 photocatalyst with improved photocatalytic properties

Facile one-step room-temperature synthesis of Pt3Ni nanoparticle networks with improved electro-catalytic properties.

Pt(3)Ni alloy nanoparticle networks (Pt(3)Ni NN) were prepared through a simple one-step room-temperature synthetic method. The as-prepared Pt(3)Ni NN exhibited markedly improved activity for both oxygen reduction reaction and electrocatalytic oxidation of small organic molecules over the Pt nanoparticle networks (Pt NN) and commercially available Pt/C.

Quick and Facile Preparation of Visible light-Driven TiO2 Photocatalyst with High Absorption and Photocatalytic Activity

Self-doping TiO2 has recently attracted considerable attention for its high photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation. However, the literature reported synthetic methods until now were very time-consuming. In this study, we establish a quick and facile method for obtaining self-doping TiO2 with the use of directly treated commercial P25 at a desired temperature for only 5 min thro...

Influences of Doping on Photocatalytic Properties of TiO2 Photocatalyst

As a kind of highly effective, low‐cost, and stable photocatalysts, TiO2 has received substantial public and scientific attention. However, it can only be activated under ultraviolet light irradiation due to its wide bandgap, high recombination, and weak separation efficiency of carriers. Doping is an effective method to extend the light absorption to the visible light region. In this chapter, ...

Facile synthesis of AgBr nanoplates with exposed {111} facets and enhanced photocatalytic properties.

AgBr nanoplates with exposed {111} facets have been synthesized in high yield by a facile precipitation reaction, and the as-prepared nanoplates exhibited greatly enhanced photocatalytic properties for the degradation of organic pollutants, which may be primarily ascribed to the relatively higher surface energy of {111} facets.
