Sulfur-doped TiO2 (S-TiO2) composites with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), wt. % of rGO equal to 0.5%, 2.75%, and 5.0%, were prepared by a one-pot solvothermal procedure. The aim was improve photocatalytic performance in comparison under simulated solar irradiation for the treatment diclofenac (DCF) aqueous medium. obtained characterized physical-chemical properties using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffractograms (XRD), Raman, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive...
Abstract In this study, sandwich‐type composites made of commercial TiO 2 ‐P25 and α‐Fe O 3 are obtained by spin coating thin films with different layer configurations, namely: i) over (TiO @α‐Fe ), ii) (α‐Fe @TiO iii) physically mixed 50% (w/w) /Fe . Photocatalytic activity under simulated solar irradiation the aforementioned their pure components is investigated for degradation amoxicillin (AMX) in presence absence persulfate (PS). both cases, achieve highest rates AMX a marked effect PS...
Microplastics (MPs) are detected in the water, sediments, as well biota, mainly a consequence of degradation plastic products/waste under environmental conditions. Due to their potentially harmful effects on ecosystems and organisms, MPs regarded emerging pollutants. The highly problematic aspect is interaction with organic inorganic pollutants; can act vectors for further transport environment. objective this study was investigate ageing changes physicochemical properties size distribution...
Diverse contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) can be found in nowadays aquatic environment, possessing high potential to cause adverse ecological and human health effects. Due their recalcitrance, conventional water treatment methods are shown inadequately effective. Thus, upgrade by advanced oxidation processes, involving the generation highly reactive species (HO SO4−), is demanded. In order assess susceptibility CECs HO SO4−, as well determine corresponding reaction rate constants kHO...
Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon allotrope with honeycomb structure, has emerged as material of immense interest in diverse scientific and technical domains. It is mainly produced from graphite by mechanical, chemical electrochemical exfoliation. As renewable energy source utilization increase, including bioenergy forest woody residues, processed, among other methods, pyrolysis treatment, it can be expected that biochar production will increase too. Thus, its useful applications,...
TiO₂-SnS₂ composite semiconducting photocatalysts with different building component ratios were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis (TiO₂-SnS₂-HT) and immobilization of commercial TiO₂ SnS₂ particles (TiO₂-SnS₂-COMM). The band gap values, which determine the catalysts’ photoactivity, examined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy Kubelka⁻Munk transformations. surface properties: specific area, charge adsorption capacitance at solid⁻solution interface characterized using BET analysis,...
The large-scale manufacturing of flexible electronics is nowadays based on inkjet printing technology using specially formulated conductive inks, but achieving adequate wetting different surfaces remains a challenge. In this work, the development silver nanoparticle-based functional ink for paper and plastic substrates demonstrated. Amphiphilic nanoparticles with narrow particle size distribution good dispersibility were prepared via two-step wet chemical synthesis procedure. First, capped...
Highly porous hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) catalyst support was prepared through hydrothermal transformation of aragonitic cuttlefish bone (Sepia Officinalis, L., Adriatic Sea) at 200?C, preserving the natural well interconnected structure. To deposit TiO2 on pore walls HAp two methods were used: i) vacuum impregnation with suspension a commercial nanopowder in isopropanol and ii) situ synthesis by sol-gel technique. XRD analysis FTIR spectroscopy used to determine phase composition...
Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposites were fabricated via a facile impregnation/calcination technique employing different amounts iron (III) nitrate onto commercial TiO2 (P25 Aeroxide). The as-prepared characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (RS), scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive (SEM/EDXS), photoelectron (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), impedance (EIS), photoluminescence (PL), and diffuse reflectance (DRS). As result, 5% (w/w) achieved the highest...
