Photocatalytic systems for the reduction of aqueous protons are strongly pH-dependent, but the origin of this dependency is still not fully understood. We have studied the effect of different degrees of acidity on the electron transfer dynamics and catalysis taking place in a homogeneous photocatalytic system composed of a phosphonated ruthenium tris(bipyridine) dye (RuP) and a nickel bis(dipho...

Highly exposed facets TiO2 attracts enormous attention due to its excellent separation effect of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and induced high performance of photocatalytic activity. Herein, a novel hydrothermal etching reaction was used to synthesize graphene-wrapped TiO2 hollow core-shell structures. Different with the reported co-exposed facets TiO2 single crystal nanoparticles, the pr...

the photocatalytic degradation of nonionic surfactant triton x-100 was studied by a batch process using znocommercial powders as the catalyst on irradiation with uv light and its behaviour comparatively with respect tozno nanoparticles with diameter size 20 nm. the effects of different conditions such as catalyst type, amount ofthe photocatalyst, ph of the system, initial concentration and elec...

The present study examined the gas-phase photocatalytic degradation of toluene using ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposite supported on activated carbon in a photocatalytic reactor. Toluene was selected as a model pollutant from volatile organic compounds to determine the pathway of photocatalytic degradation and the factors influencing this degradation. The ZnO-SnO2 nanocomposite was synthesized through co-p...

the acceptance of the right project which leads to the realization of the set objectives is one of the most important issues in project-oriented companies. therefore, corporate managers prefer to work on those projects which ensures the achievement of goals such as increasing financial profits or being the top brands in their rivals market. the present  research aimed at introducing  a systemat...

BiGdO₃ nanoparticles were prepared by a solid-state reaction method and applied in photocatalytic degradation of dyes in this study. BiGdO₃ was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that BiGdO₃ crystallized ...

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...
