CO2 levels, natural disasters, environmental pollution and dependence on fossil fuels …

Cu nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of commercial TiO2 nanoparticles (Cu–
TiO2) using different methods aiming at the production of highly efficient visible light …

An active TiO 2 for co-catalyst-free photocatalytic hydrogen evolution was successfully
synthesized employing a simple Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly (EISA) method that …

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is being extensively investigated as an eco-friendly oxidant and
various activation methods of PMS have been investigated. Here we demonstrated a new …

The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) driven photocatalytic H2 production upon visible
light illumination (≥ 500 nm) was investigated on gold-loaded TiO2 (Au–TiO2). It has been …

Elemental doping into semiconductor-based photocatalysts to narrow the bandgap, thus
extending the light absorption to visible light region, is a conventional and widely adopted …

Defects in powders play key roles in photocatalysis since they sometimes accelerate but
other times prevent the recombination of photocarriers. However, how to differentiate the …
