We report here on an efficient one-step-impregnation method to synthesize crystalline mesoporous bimetal oxides (e.g. NiFe(2)O(4), CuFe(2)O(4), Cu/CeO(2)) using mesoporous silicas as hard templates under optimized mixing conditions. This new procedure enables a true replication of the mesostructure with high yield and phase purity, while retaining particle morphology of the template.

Semiconductor research has demonstrated the main application in areas such as hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting [1], dye sensitized solar cells [2] and photocatalytic treatment of harmful organics from air and water [3]. Developing of efficient visible light responsive photocatalysts for environmental remediation has become the main area in photocatalysis research becau...

Highly crystal textured copper ferrite films have been grown on s100d MgO substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Deposition temperatures were varied from 600–900 °C, with deposition oxygen pressure varied from 1 mTorr to 120 mTorr. Saturation magnetization was measured to increase monotonically with substrate temperature approaching the bulk value of 1700 G near 900 °C. Magnetization was als...

The present work deals with simple hydrothermal preparation of magnetically separable BiVO4/N-rGO/CuFe2O4 Z-scheme hybrid photocatalyst for efficient detoxification p-bromophenol (p-BP). BiVO4 is one the most visible light catalyst, however, suffers photo-corrosion and high recombination charge carriers that restricts its applications. Addition graphene oxide doped nitrogen are believed to over...
