Ultra-fine Cu clusters decorated hydrangea-like titanium dioxide for photocatalytic hydrogen production

Ya-Jie Feng et al.

Summary: In this study, ultra-fine copper cluster-decorated hydrangea-like TiO2 systems were used to improve the photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution. Both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrated that the decoration of ultra-fine copper clusters effectively promoted the charge separation and transfer process, acting as reaction sites for the reduction of H2O to H-2. This research has important implications for the study of copper-based co-catalyst systems and the development of other non-noble metal co-catalysts in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

CVD-Synthesis of N-CNT Using Propane and Ammonia

Valery Skudin et al.

Summary: N-CNT is a promising material with various applications, but its high production cost limits widespread use. In this study, CVD-synthesis using a propane-ammonia mixture was conducted, and the synthesized N-CNT was characterized to have various morphological structures. The content of these structures depends on the synthesis temperature and ammonia content. Optimal conditions for CVD-synthesis were determined.

A Highly Efficient and Stable Photocatalyst; N-Doped ZnO/CNT Composite Thin Film Synthesized via Simple Sol-Gel Drop Coating Method

Md Elias et al.

Summary: The study successfully fabricated N-doped ZnO/CNT nanocomposite thin film with excellent photocatalytic activity for dye degradation under both UV and visible light irradiation. The incorporation of nitrogen and CNT in ZnO matrix led to enhanced photocatalytic performance by narrowing the band gap and reducing electron-hole pair recombination. The computational study supported the experimental results of significant band gap contraction and proposed a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism for the N-doped ZnO/CNT nanocomposite.

Black Talc-Based TiO2/ZnO Composite for Enhanced UV-Vis Photocatalysis Performance

Huan Shuai et al.

Summary: The ternary black talc-TiO2/ZnO composite photocatalyst prepared using black talc as a carrier showed excellent pollutant degradation performance. The black talc played a crucial role in promoting the interface interaction between TiO2 and ZnO, while the carbon doping in black talc enhanced the response in visible light and improved catalytic efficiency. Additionally, the carbon in black talc could adsorb organic pollutants and enrich the surroundings of the photocatalyst, further enhancing its degradation rate under UV irradiation.
