Huifang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel p-n heterojunction CdS QDs/LaMnO3 composite and evaluates its activity in photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic contaminants.

Tammanoon Chankhanittha et al.

Summary: In this study, the incorporation of silver on ZnO photocatalyst significantly enhanced its visible-light-responsive performance and anti-photocorrosion property by creating a Schottky barrier at the silver/ZnO interface, leading to improved quantum efficiency and photocatalytic activity.
