cecuo3 nanoparticles with diameter 4.36 nm was synthesized by a fast and simplemicrowave method using cerric sulphate tetra hydrate and copper sulphate pentahydrate asstarting reagents. cecuo3 was synthesized under microwave heating for 6 min without calciningsteps. the synthesized products were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) andscanning electron microscopy (sem) and the photoc...

Abstract-In-situ chemical polymerization was used to synthesize PPy/ TiO2 nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to ensure the crystallite size, functional groups and morphology of the polymer nanocomposite. The band gap of th...

In this work, growth and assembly of the micro polyhedral zinc oxide was performed using airbubble assisted Triton X100, as a templating agent. In absence of air bubbling in the reactionsystem the nano plate zinc oxide was synthesized. The prepared samples were characterized by Xraydiffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV-Visspectrop...

Development of nanostructured photocatalysts for harnessing solar energy in energy-efficient and environmentally benign way remains an important area of research. Pure and WO3-surface modified thin films of TiO2 were prepared by magnetron sputtering on indium tin oxide glass, and photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic activities of these films were studied. TiO2 particles were <50 nm, while de...

Sol-gel technique was used to coat multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with anatase titania to increasing the surface area and improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Room temperature ballistic conduct of MWCNT combined with semiconducting behavior of anatase brought about a photocatalytic improvement of ~37 % with respect to the highest methyl orange decolorization flair. For characteriza...

In the present study, the photocatalytic treatment of two synthetic textile dyehouse effluents was investigated. The first synthetic effluent (SE1) is a Remazol Black B aqueous solution, while the second one (SE2) is an aqueous mixture of sixteen dyes and auxiliary chemicals that are usually employed in the textile industry. Various illumination sources were studied, while emphasis was given on...

in the present work, zno/bi2o3, sno2/bi2o3/bi2o4 mixed oxide, bi2o3 rod-like and sno2 nanoparticle have been synthesized. the obtained samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem) and x-ray diffraction (xrd). the optical properties of samples were evaluated by uv-vis spectrophotometer. the photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by decolorization o...

Background : Effluents containing synthetic dyes are hazardous to ecological systems and public health. Methylene blue is an important chemical aromatic dye which commonly used in textile industries. Due to being aromatic, it is often toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. The goal of this study was to investigate the efficiency of ZnO nano particles photocatalytic process for decolorization of met...

a comparison of the photoefficiency of ni(ii) and nis incorporated into zeolite p towards photodecolorization of eriochrome black t dye solution was investigated in a photocatalytic reactor using uv lamp as a light source. the effect of various experimental variables on the decolorization performance of the process was evaluated by examining catalyst dosage, temperature, initial dye concentrati...
