Amir Haghighi et al.

Summary: The precipitation fabrication of Ag-Ag2O/Z-scheme heterojunction nanophotocatalyst enhanced the photocatalytic activity of Bi24O31Br10 for the degradation of acid orange 7 and eosin yellow. This enhancement can be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of silver nanoparticles and the Z-scheme heterojunction structure, which effectively reduces the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. The Ag-Ag2O/Bi24O31Br10(3:1) nanophotocatalyst showed good photocatalytic activity even after 4 runs.

A selective Au-ZnO/TiO2 hybrid photocatalyst for oxidative coupling of methane to ethane with dioxygen

Shuang Song et al.

Summary: The study presents a highly efficient and selective photo-oxidation method for the direct conversion of methane to ethane using a Au nanoparticle (NP) loaded ZnO/TiO2 hybrid. This method achieves an ethane production rate of over 5,000 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) with 90% selectivity, which is more than an order of magnitude higher than current state-of-the-art photocatalytic systems. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the formation of heterojunctions between ZnO and TiO2, while the Au cocatalyst facilitates C2H6 formation and inhibits overoxidation of CH4 to CO2.
