Herein, a novel Cu-MoO3/g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a two-step strategy of one-pot pyrolysis followed by the impregnation method. The structure, phase, morphology and electronic environment of MoO3, g-C3N4 and Cu in the composite were determined by various characterization methods. The oxygen vacancies of MoO3 were ascertained by UV-DRS, Raman, and XPS analysis. ...

the use of colored semiconductor oxide like copper (ii) oxide and nickel (ii) oxide for photocatalytic bleaching of rose bengal was investigated in detail. in order to harness the solar energy, the effective wavelength of the photocatalyst is to be expanded into the visible region and that increases the rate of photocatalytic bleaching of the dye. progress of the reaction was observed spectroph...

A hybrid enzymatic/photocatalytic approach for the conversion of CO2 into methanol is described. For the approach discussed here, the production of one mol of CH3OH from CO2 requires three enzymes and the consumption of three mol of NADH. Regeneration of the cofactor NADH from NAD(+) was achieved by using visible-light-active, heterogeneous, TiO2-based photocatalysts. The efficiency of the rege...

With 28–34 times the greenhouse effect of CO2 over a 100-year period, methane is regarded as second largest contributor to global warming. Reducing emissions necessary measure limit warming below 1.5 °C. Photocatalytic conversion promising approach alleviate atmospheric concentrations due its low energy consumption and environmentally friendly characteristics. Meanwhile, this process can produc...

Solar Energy Conversion MTV-MOF-based photocatalyst is one of the significantly candidates in achieving solar-energy conversion. In article number 2200394, Falu Hu, Guowei Zhou and coworkers review recent development photocatalysts, classed into mixed-metal MOF, mixed-ligand which are used to achieve regulate photocatalytic CO2 reduction or H2 evolution by introduction multiple metals different...

the photocatalytic degradation of a common analgesic (acetaminophen) with titanium dioxide irradiated with low energy ultraviolet light (365 nm) was studied in order to determine the effect of several parameters such as catalyst’s weight, photochemical effect, and initial concentration. the results indicate that acetaminophen is degraded in the order of 4% by the photochemical effect. the pres...
